Our colleagues at the European Studies Association Australia and New Zealand (ESAANZ), NSW/ACT branch, invite you to this online panel discussion on US-Europe-Russia relations, with views from Australia.

One week after the historic Biden-Putin summit in Geneva on 16 June, which followed US President Biden’s first participation in the G7 and NATO summits, Australia is facing important geostrategic choices.

This panel discussion aims to provoke debate on key issues arising from these internationally significant meetings. First, the panelists will deliberate on key changes under the Biden Administration and outstanding challenges in US-Europe, NATO and US-Russia relations following these summits. The panelists will be asked to comment on the G7 proposal to establish an alternative infrastructure development initiative to rival China’s Belt and Road project. Then, the issues of Russia-based cyber threats for Australia will discussed considering the recent US-Russian rapprochement on this topic. Lastly, the panel will be open to questions from the audience on any aspect of G7, NATO and US-Europe-Russia meetings from the previous week.
