As part of the Model NATO and Security in the North (5 ECTS) course, Professor Sergii Glebov will deliver a special lecture that scrutinises how the ongoing war in Ukraine affects the security of Europe. He will explicate Russia's onslaught against Ukraine, arguing that it puts the entire region in jeopardy. The conflict in Ukraine unnerves various states, including some NATO members, which fear that Moscow can undermine their sovereignty (and security) in a similar manner in the future. Professor Glebov will also shed light on the policy choices that European countries, as well as NATO, have in the wake of Russia's aggressive designs.
His lecture 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.
