European Security After Brussels
The terrorist attack on Brussels has highlighted the need for more and better coordination of counter-terrorism measures not only in Belgium but also throughout Europe. With the investigation ongoing, we spoke with Belgium’s Ambassador to the United States, veteran diplomat Johan Verbeke, who shared thoughts on his country’s response and also on improving security strategy among the nations of the EU. That’s the focus of this edition of Wilson Center NOW.

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
