As part of the Model NATO and Security in the North (5 ECTS) course, we will organise a special panel discussion on the dangerous perpetuation of the Ukraine war and its recent escalation. The discussion will foreground, inter alia, the implications of the recent escalation of the conflict for not only Ukraine but also European and global security. We address a critical question: How can the crisis be brought to an end?
The panelists include Lt. General (r) Robert Mood, Professor Gunhild Hoogensen Gjørv, Professor Rasmus Gjedssø Bertelsen, Professor Marc Lanteigne, and Professor Sergii Glebov. The conversation will be moderated by Arsalan Bilal (AB).
The panel discussion will be open to all staff members, students, and guests at UiT.
The Model NATO and Security in the North course is taking place from September 2 to September 6, 2024 under the auspices of the Centre for Peace Studies and The Grey Zone research group. It entails three days of thematic lectures and panel discussions followed by two days of an extensive crisis simulation. The course offers a deep dive into the aims, functions, and limitations of NATO, as well as robust training in dialogue and negotiations. Students from not only UiT but also Umeå University (Sweden) and the University of Lapland (Finland) are participating in the course.
