24th Foreign Policy Conference

Three overlapping geopolitical crises in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and East Asia have put the European security and defence question back on the political agenda: Is the EU ready and capable to defend its interests and its principles in a more competitive and aggressive world? And does it have a credible fallback option, should the transatlantic cooperation falter in the years to come?

The 24th Foreign Policy Conference of the Heinrich Böll Foundation will focus on current debates around the future of the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy and the European Security Order with special emphasis on the principles of a new transatlantic burden sharing and the outlook for a post-national European Security Order, including an EU Army.

With (among others):

• Kori Schake, American Enterprise Institute, Washington D.C.
• Ulrike Franke, European Council on Foreign Relations, Paris
• Chris Ngwodo, Director-General at the Office for Strategic Preparedness and Resilience, Office of the Vice President of Nigeria, Abuja
• Ronja Scheler, Senior Advisor Foreign and Security Policy, Parliamentary Group Alliance 90/The Greens, Berlin
• Anton Hofreiter, Chairman of the Parliamentary Commission for European Union Affairs, Alliance 90/The Greens, Berlin
• Katja Keul, Minister of State at the Federal Foreign Office, Berlin
