On 24 September 2019, VCDNP Senior Fellow Angela Kane delivered the keynote speech at United Europe's CEO Roundtable event on "Common Security and Defense Policy." Other speakers included United Europe President Wolfgang Schüssel and Austria's Ambassador to France Michael Linhart.
During her keynote address, Ms. Kane drew attention to the rising tensions in European security taking place after three decades of relative peace and stability. She observed that security is not a concept that exists in a vacuum, but rather a balance between political, economic and social factors, both in the public and private sectors.
In particular, Ms. Kane observed that the new geostrategic and security environment has contributed to instability in Europe.
“Security is not measured in military terms alone, and while NATO and EU defense structures are indispensable for member States, other security threats are equally prominent,” observed Ms. Kane.
Ms. Kane drew some conclusions during her remarks about Europe’s future course in today’s geopolitical reality.
Ms. Kane's full remarks are available on United Europe's website.
