Report of the Transatlantic Security Symposium 2009 ‘US-Europe-Russia Security Relations: Towards a New Compact?’

Abstract:

Moved by the conviction that any serious reflection on the future of European security should take into consideration Russia’s contribution to it, the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) of Rome organized a Transatlantic Symposium on US-Europe-Russia security relations.

Four main issues were brought under scrutiny: (1) The role of the EU, NATO, and Russia in the ‘European security space’; (2) The potential for cooperation in nuclear arms controls, missile defence and non-proliferation; (3) Energy security; and (4) The prospects for a new encompassing security compact.
