    GLOBcast: Convening the Council EP#14 for Future of Security

    In the first episode of GLOBcast: Convening the Council, Federica Mangiameli, Policy Fellow at GLOBSEC, is joined by Admiral Rob Bauer, former Chair of NATO’s Military Committee and former Chief of Defence of the Netherlands. Drawing on his experience at the highest levels of NATO decision-making, Admiral Bauer reflects on how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has reshaped the Alliance’s approach to deterrence, defence, and readiness. The conversation explores the evolution of modern warfare, from hybrid threats and cyber operations to the growing importance of civilian infrastructure, supply chains, and societal resilience. The episode also discusses capability gaps among European Allies, the role of air and missile defence, and whether NATO societies can realistically prepare for the demands of future conflict.

    GLOBcast: Convening the Council EP#9 for Future of Security

    Europe is stepping up its game in defence. With Kajsa Ollongren, former Defence Minister of the The Netherlands and a member of Globsec' Ukraine support club, we point to the most urgent steps Europe needs to make to succesfully implement the White Paper on the Future of European Defence. We discuss who should be the leaders of Europe in this effort and the need to simplify European legislation to pave the way towards a genuine European Single market on defence. With the NATO Summit in June approaching, we assess how important is it going to be for Europe to set a new benchmark on defence investment at the level of 5 % of GDP.
