SUMMARY:Europe’s Transforming Security Landscape and NATO
DESCRIPTION:Annexation of Crimea by Russia\, conflict in Eastern Ukraine\, 
 and war and turmoil in Syria and other parts of the MENA region – the se
 curity landscape in and around Europe has seen major transformation in rec
 ent years. Alongside these developments\, the British decided to leave the
  EU and Donald J. Trump\, who had raised doubts about US commitment to the
  security of European allies and termed “unpredictability” as his stra
 tegy of choice\, assumed the presidency in the United States. Overall\, th
 e Europeans have been confronted with multiple risks\, challenges\, and un
 certainties of different origin and type.  Against such a background\, th
 e EU undertook steps to deepen cooperation and coordination in the realm o
 f security and defense\, most prominently launching the Permanent Structur
 ed Cooperation (PESCO)\, and concurred with NATO on expanding ties and enh
 ancing cooperation. Yet\, what are the wider implications of these develop
 ments for NATO? What has been and will be its role in a “changed and evo
 lving security environment”? How will its relationship with and position
 ing vis-à-vis the EU evolve? Will it succeed in demonstrating the same le
 vel of adaptability it showcased after the end of the Cold War? Or\, is it
  indeed the “obsolete” Alliance whose years are numbered? – This pan
 el will focus on and discuss these and related questions.\nFor the written
