PUBLIC LECTURE: NATO’S NUCLEAR DETERRENCE

23 SEP 2019 15:30 - 18:00

INTRODUCTION

The Clingendael Institute and the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs have the pleasure of inviting you to a free public lecture, entitled ‘NATO’s Nuclear Deterrence’ by Jessica Cox. Sico van der Meer, Research Fellow, will open the event. Register here.

Keynote speaker: Jessica Cox

Jessica Cox is Director of the Nuclear Policy Directorate at NATO Headquarters in Brussels. She provides policy support to the Secretary General and others at NATO HQ on matters related to NATO nuclear deterrence, chairs the Nuclear Planning Group Staff Group, and will chair the NATO-Russia Council Nuclear Experts Group (which is currently suspended).

The role of nuclear deterrence within NATO policies

Ms. Cox will share her perspectives on the role of nuclear deterrence within NATO policies. Set against an increasingly complex geostrategic picture, where bilateral models of deterrence and stability are challenged by the spread of advanced technologies and by the advancement of nuclear programmes in states outside the NATO-Russia axis, renewed thinking about the place and practice of nuclear deterrence within NATO is required.

How has NATO adapted its approach to nuclear issues in the face of newly emerging challenges? What impact does the combination of a more multipolar world and more widespread advanced technology have on NATO’s nuclear planning and deterrence capabilities? And how do these questions relate to wider issues, such as discussions in the context of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, political fragmentation within Europe, and concerns over the reliability of US alliance commitments?

EGMONT Institute: Extremist Offender Management in Belgium

Extremist Offender Management in Belgium By Thomas Renard (27 July 2020) In Other publications EU strategy and foreign policy, Middle-East / North Africa, Terrorism The presence of terrorist convicts in prison is not a new phenomenon in Belgium. However, radicalisation or recruitment was less visible, or at least less observed until it became a policy priority to monitor violent extremists in prison in 2015. This chapter, which is part of a broader report, analyses the specific policies and tools that have been developed in Belgium to address the challenge of radicalisation in prison, and the rehabilitation of terrorist offenders after their release. This chapter (view the PDF below) was published as part of the report “Extremist Offender Management in Europe: Country Reports” published by ICSR, and available here .
