Transatlantic Security
Building on GMF’s transatlantic and pan-European footprint, the Transatlantic Security Program leverages GMF’s analytical expertise and convening power to improve European and transatlantic resilience, security, and deterrence and defense.
The program identifies emerging risks, delivers actionable policy recommendations, and forecasts future developments while providing ensuring a confidential space for key stakeholders to exchange ideas.
Program priorities
The Transatlantic Security Program identifies key threats and explores how Europe can develop a credible defense posture and maintain a transatlantic link amid a shifting transatlantic dynamic. It analyzes political leadership formats, assesses capability gaps and ways to overcome them, and discusses the future of nuclear deterrence. In doing so, the program contributes to shaping a “transition roadmap” for Europeans to assume greater responsibility for their own security. One research focus is therefore to contribute to a definition of a “European Way of War” as a genuinely European approach to defense and deterrence.
Focusing on the architecture of a durable, European-led security framework, the Transatlantic Security Program analyzes pathways to a sustainable end to the war in Ukraine, a coherent European stance toward a revisionist Russia, and a strengthened cross-theater coordination—from the Arctic to the Indo-Pacific—and across domains such as cyber and space.
