Crunch Time - France and the future of European defence

Over the past year, France has been thrust to the centre of the conversation on the future of European defence. Donald Trump’s presidency, Brexit, mass migration, Russia’s increased assertiveness, and violent conflicts across the globe have sparked a reassessment of France’s role in European security. This roundtable will allow for a frank and timely discussion of Friends of Europe’s recent report “Crunch time: France and the future of European defence”, which examines how political parties and senior security and defence stakeholders in France and beyond approach France’s strategic position in the European security landscape.

For further reading see the Friends of Europe’s report “Crunch time: France and the future of European defence”.
