The Baltic Sea region has been at the core of renewed geostrategic attention in the last five years.
Most Baltic states have a well-established strategic culture, whether they are members of the EU and NATO or not. To adapt to the evolving security environment, the Baltic States have mobilized relevant ways, means and capabilities to create a cooperative environment capable to deter any attempt against their integrity and values. Yet, they face a wide range of challenges. L’Institut de Recherche Stratégique de l’Ecole Militaire and the NATO Defense College are jointly organizing this colloquium on “security in the Baltic Sea Region”. The event will aim to examine the strategic environment of the Baltic Sea region where hostile actions have been and still are sources of concern, and how states and security organizations - NATO and the EU - come together to face the multifaceted security challenges.
