RSF'25: Episode 5: "Europe and the United States: Perceiving Threats and Responsibilities Equally?"

📍This episode interrogates a central question: do Europe and the United States perceive contemporary security threats and global responsibilities in comparable ways, or are their strategic outlooks increasingly diverging? It further asks how both sides interpret challenges such as Russian aggression, China’s systemic rise, and emerging technological vulnerabilities, and what these differing assessments mean for defence planning. Finally, the discussion considers whether current debates on burden-sharing, European strategic autonomy, and NATO’s evolving mandate reflect converging expectations- or widening transatlantic asymmetries.
