Global Security in a Year of Elections

Tracey German, Mark Laity, Steven Pifer, Helene von Bismarck and Gavin Esler
Two years on from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the war remains a key issue of global politics. With Biden as President in the US, support from this global power is a given - although signs of resistance within Congress are starting to show.
But what would the re-election of Trump mean for Putin’s invasion? What would NATO’s future be? Even in the event of a Biden victory, what will the future bring?
At an event chaired by journalist Gavin Esler, our panel of speakers includes Helene von Bismarck and Tracey German of King’s College, London and the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI); Steven Pifer, a retired US Foreign Service officer with more than 25 years with the State Department; and Mark Laity, an expert on strategic communications and security, and one of the leaders in its development within NATO.
This event is part of the Festival Focus ‘2024: A new world order?’ presented in collaboration with the Morrell Centre for Legal and Political Philosophy.
