Dr. Jamie Shea, Director, Policy Planning, Private Office of the Secretary
General, and former NATO Spokesman, talks about “NATO: present challenges;
future possibilities” in a series of 6 lectures to be broadcast exclusively
on the NATO TV Channel.
Dr. Shea shares his knowledge and insight about the current and future
role of NATO with a live audience of university students from the Institute
for European Studies (IES) in Brussels.
The lecture series will begin on July 16 and will go on for 6 weeks:
- Wednesday, 16 July 2008, "Twenty Years
On"
- Two decades have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
How has NATO changed over those years and has the transformation process
been deep enough to adapt the Alliance to today’s very different world?

- Wednesday, 13 August 2008, "NATO and the
EU"
- The two decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall have seen the rise
of a number of new security challenges: international terrorism,
proliferation threats, cyber attacks and fears regarding energy security.
These new challenges are tackled both at NATO and at the European
Union. Are both institutions growing apart or growing together ?

future?
