Overview

About the workshop

The European Initiative for Security Studies (EISS), the NATO Defence College (NDC), and the Centre for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy at the Brussels School of Governance (CSDS) have partnered to organise a Joint Policy Workshop (JPW).

The 2022 edition focused on the topic of "Military Alliances and Challenges to the Use of Military Force", and was held on 9 November 2022, at CSDS in Brussels.

This edition brought together academic experts and policymakers to create synergies and foster a dialogue on critical issues in transatlantic security, with a focus on challenges posed to military alliances and the use of military force in the 21st century.

Format

An Academic Perspective

Selected scholars (4–6) presented their papers which were discussed by EU/NATO policymakers; and subsequently with the audience.

A Policymakers' Perspective

Four policymakers provided a ten-minute pitch each, and their presentations were then discussed with the other participants.

Themes & topics

We invited scholars to send paper proposals related to the topic of the workshop. Papers could address, but were not limited to, the following topics:

  • Military alliances and the evolution of doctrines
  • Strategic cultures and national decisions to use force in a multinational context
  • Lessons learnt from operations — implications for military alliances
  • Challenges of interoperability in coalition warfare
  • Emerging and disruptive technologies and multinational cooperation
  • The impact of domestic factors (parliaments, parties, coalition governments, public opinion) on military alliances
