#17. Europe in the Shadow of War with Dr Elie Perot

In this episode, we discuss the award-winning dissertation "Europe in the Shadow of War" by Dr Elie Perot, recipient of the 2025 Global Strategy PhD Prize. Defended at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the research explores how the return of war to Europe is reshaping the Euro-Atlantic security architecture. The conversation examines how NATO, the EU, and bilateral defence arrangements are adapting to the renewed challenge of collective defence—and what this means for European security today.
