  THE WEAPONISATION OF ENERGY, FOOD AND RELIGION

Are we facing a future of permanent bloodless war, as Mark Galeotti suggests in his new book, „The Weaponisation of Everything?“. War by bullets is being supplemented or even replaced by war which weaponises trade, supply chains, disinformation, culture, religion and even crime. What do we need to know to understand the changing nature of conflict and not fall victim to hybrid aggression?

The session is organised in cooperation with the Ukrainian Institute for the Future (UIF).

Language of discussion: English.

  #ATSPARIDEMOKRATIJA. HIBRIDINIS ATSAKAS HIBRIDINĖMS GRĖSMĖMS

Hibridinėms grėsmėms atspari visuomenė yra vienas dažniausiai vartojamų šalies saugumo apibūdinimų, tačiau kaip įvertinti realų mūsų šalies pasirengimą atremti hibridines grėsmes? Ar šioms grėsmėms yra pasirengusios strateginės tarptautinės saugumo organizacijos? Koks diasporos vaidmuo atsveriant ar stiprinant šias grėsmes? Ko dar nežinome apie interneto erdvės poveikį demokratiniams procesams?

Diskusijos kalba: lietuvių.

  THE NEW WORLD ORDER? IS EUROPE READY?

„One lesson from this war in Ukraine is we should have listened to those who know Putin“, said Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, in her annual State of the Union address. As the liberal international order formed after the end of the Cold War faces existential threats from revisionist authoritarian powers such as Russia and China, it is necessary to understand why parts of the West did not heed several wake-up calls prior to the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine on the 24th of February. How Western policies towards Russia and China led to increased dependencies and what must be done to strengthen the resilience of Western democracies.

This session is organised in cooperation with the International Centre for Policy Studies (ICPS).
