The World HandCOV’d: Assessing longer-term implications of the pandemic disruption for int. security

Strategic dilemmas facing NATO in the post-corona world

The pandemic of the new coronavirus is on everyone’s mind. Besides the conspicuous immediate implications for our personal lives the unprecedented events unfolding in front of us seem to have historical magnitude. Even though most analysts agree that the global outbreak of the coronavirus, as a virological phenomenon, is in itself hardly a game-changer for world affairs, it looks increasingly likely that the repercussions of the reactions by governments around the globe will have a significant impact on the international system beyond the pandemic. Among the multitude of ongoing transformations, some will accelerate while others might slow down, take a halt or change direction. But since hardly any of them are likely to remain completely unaffected, it is fair to say that international politics as a whole have fallen captive to COVID-19.

Format: Virtual panel discussion
Working language: English and Russian
Venue: Zoom

The pandemic disruption is not likely to change our world altogether, but it will clearly have profound geopolitical implications, including for international security. In order to understand those possible implications, the Minsk Dialogue Council on International Relations and KAS Belarus are continuing a series of virtual panels that will zoom in on strategic dilemmas facing key pillars of international security in the post-corona world.

This online event will look at NATO:

• What specific security and geopolitical circumstances does NATO find itself in at the time of the pandemic disruption?
• What major security policy dilemmas is NATO facing now and is likely to face as the Covid-19 crisis is over? ‚
• How will the pandemic and its longer-term effects impact NATO’s status and role in the international system?
• What strategic implications will the (non)changing NATO’s role in the world have for Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian security?

Please join us for this online panel, which will be held via Zoom. To ask a question, please use the chat, which will be available during the event. Registration is required to join the Zoom session.
