Outweighing the CCP: The Role of European Allies in U.S.-China Strategic Competition

Indo-Pacific security issues have significant and growing implications for the broader international community, including Europe. These issues may not only jeopardize global peace and economic prosperity, but also the fundamental principles that stabilize the liberal world order. As the United States’ understanding of the Chinese Communist Party has become better informed, Washington has begun to adjust its approach toward Beijing. What is the role of America’s NATO allies and other like-minded partners in strategic competition with the People’s Republic of China? To what degree can democracies, including our European allies coordinate and cooperate with Japan, Australia, India, South Korea, and Taiwan to affect outcomes in the Pacific?

During this livestream event, the Project 2049 Institute will host a distinguished panel of experts to explore the role of our European allies with regard to strategic competition. The panelists will share their perspectives on the current level of European coordination with U.S. and Indo-Pacific allies, in addition to a broader discussion on our common challenges, identifying future mechanisms of cooperation based on our shared values.
