International relations are heating up. In a context of strategic restructuring, public attention is fragmented and shifting every week. But one trend is emerging: the sidelining of international law and the multilateral system, and the return of raw power relations.
Faced with this global disorder, what role does France, a nuclear power and permanent member of the Security Council, intend to play? How does its vision fit in with the security imperatives of Finland and Europe? Renowned speakers offer their insights:
- Welcome and few opening words, Tuomo Melasuo
- French Security Policy and the Defence of Europe, half a century after the Helsinki Final Act, Nicolas Badalassi
- Finland and France – Partners in EU and in NATO, Matti Anttonen
- France’s new national security review and strategy for the Arctic, Rémy Songeur
- Social break
- German-Franco Tandem and Europe’s Zeitenwende, Kimmo Elo
- Future European defence: coalitions, organisations, leadership, Hanna Ojanen
- Closing panel discussion between the speakers and with the public
The full programme is available here.
The seminar is organized by the Franco-Finnish Association for Scientific and Technical Research (SRTTS-AFFRST), in cooperation with the French Institute in Finland, the Department of Political History at the University of Turku, and the Tampere Peace Research Institute (TAPRI).
