Carnegie Europe was on the ground at the 2017 Munich Security Conference, a major annual gathering of world leaders, defense chiefs, and international security experts.

Topping the agenda of this year’s conference were the future of transatlantic relations under the new U.S. administration, the state of European security and defense, Russia, Syria, and information warfare.

Judy Dempsey, editor in chief of Carnegie’s Strategic Europe blog, offered readers exclusive access to the debates as they unfolded, providing insights on crucial security challenges.

    Europe’s Self-Confidence Problem

    The EU’s responses to two recent incidents expose the gulf between European perceptions and capabilities. Unless the union can bridge that gap, it will never become a real geostrategic power.
