Friday, April 8, 9am-4pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

The conflict around Ukraine has brought to a head debate about how to deal with Russia, what role NATO should play, and how to manage interstate relations. It has also drawn attention to the diverse interests and perspectives that are now evident in NATO — which has expanded from 12 to 30 countries — and the threats to liberal values from abroad and within.

Unsurprisingly, as tensions have mounted, so have the stereotypical portrayals and self-serving explanations that are common in the heavily contested information environment. As governments work to mobilize support, it becomes more difficult for citizens to find dispassionate and well-informed perspectives.

The Mershon Center for International Security Studies at the Ohio State University hopes to provide some of those in a series of talks (March 2 and 24), culminating in this conference, featuring distinguished scholars from across the United States and Europe.
