The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine is the most recent event out of a series of crises that have challenged European foreign affairs and geopolitical cohesion. This issue is at the core of the theme of the Transatlantic Policy Symposium (TAPS), “Toward a Geostrategic Europe?” In anticipation of TAPS, a graduate student-run conference at Georgetown University’s BMW Center for German and European Studies, I asked one of the symposium co-chairs, Nick Lokker, about the content and anticipated events at the conference to be held on Friday, March 18th. More information about the event is available here.
