| Topic: Is ‘The West’ Over? |
|---|
| U.S. tariff threats, uncertainty facing Greenland and NATO, and growing strains in EU-U.S. relations are testing once-solid transatlantic ties. Are these tensions temporary realignments that will strengthen the transatlantic partnership – or a sign that the idea of “the West” is unraveling? If so, what replaces it, and how might that reshape global trade, security, and international alliances? This is a no-homework event, but supplemental readings will be provided to attendees |
