Ausgangspunkte und Perspektiven deutsch-französischer Sicherheitspolitik

In the organizer's words:

The lecture provides an overview of how differently German and French security policy developed after the Second World War and what opportunities are opening up for cooperation today. The war in Ukraine and the withdrawal of the USA act as catalysts for increasing rapprochement. While there is increasing agreement on how to deal with Russia and on important strategic issues (keyword "European sovereignty"), there is a lack of consensus when it comes to concrete arms and military cooperation.

However, the question of how a Franco-German security policy can be translated and institutionally integrated at European level remains unresolved. Just like the future role of non-military means to ensure peace in Europe.

Speaker Dr. Sascha Hach is a researcher in the International Institutions program area, Managing Director of the Arms Control Negotiation Academy (ACONA) at PRIF - Leibniz Institute for Peace and Conflict Research and teaches at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich.
