ETH Evening Talks: “Challenges for Democracy: Do the EU and NATO have the Right Answers?”

Unequal economic development and issues posed by migration have unsettled Western societies. At the same time, the West is being challenged by influence operations, emanating in particular from Russia. The EU and NATO must face up to these tests, with a significant part of the answer lying in improved cooperation between the two. Switzerland can also benefit from such a response, at least indirectly. This was the quintessential outcome of the ETH Evening Talk on Thursday, 16 January 2020 on the topic "Challenges for Democracy: Do the EU and NATO have the Right Answers?” external page Jiří Schneider, Executive Director of the Aspen Institute Central Europe and former Deputy Foreign Minister of the Czech Republic, and Dr. Henrik Larsen, Senior Researcher at the CSS, discussed the topic, with about 40 participants in attendance.
