RSF'25 Episode 5: Europe and the United States: Perceiving Threats and Responsibilities Equally? #RSF2025
📍This episode interrogates a central question: do Europe and the United States perceive contemporary security threats and global responsibilities in comparable ways, or are their strategic outlooks increasingly diverging? It further asks how both sides interpret challenges such as Russian aggression, China’s systemic rise, and emerging technological vulnerabilities, and what these differing assessments mean for defence planning. Finally, the discussion considers whether current debates on burden-sharing, European strategic autonomy, and NATO’s evolving mandate reflect converging expectations- or widening transatlantic asymmetries.

RDF’23: 10. Epizode: Dzimumu lomas Rietumos (un citur), 2. daļa #RSF2023
Lai arī "Sievietes, miers un drošība" programma darbojas jau kopš 2001. gada, realitāte bieži vien ir pavisam citāda. Tā vietā, lai risinātu izaicinājumus, dažreiz starptautiskās normas un standarti neatbilst cerībām. Situācija pamazām uzlabojas, taču bieži vien, lai atbalstītu sievietes un bērnus starptautiskās krīzes situācijās un pēckonflikta zonās, mēs nereaģējam īstajā brīdī un īstajā vietā. Tāpēc jau otro reizi šī gada #RSF2023 epizodēs mēs runājam par nepieciešamību dot iespēju sievietēm, bērniem un minoritātēm konfliktu un pēc konfliktu apstākļos, kā arī miera laikos. Šajā epizodē par šiem jautājumiem sarunājas Merisa Hurma, Vilsona centra Tuvo Austrumu programmas direktore un Elizabete Elīna Vizgunova-Vikmane, Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta pētniece. Projekts ir veiksmīgas sadarbības rezultāts starp Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūtu, NATO Publiskās Diplomātijas departamentu, Frīdriha-Eberta fondu Baltijā, Amerikas Savienoto Valstu, Polijas, Kanādas un Spānijas vēstniecībām Latvijā, kā arī starptautisko aizsardzības, drošības un aviācijas dzīves cikla atbalsta pakalpojumu, pilotu apmācību un tehnoloģisko risinājumu sniedzēju “Patria”, Rīgas Juridisko augstskolu un “5G Techritory” platformu.

RSF’23: Episode 10: Gender Roles in the West (and in the Rest), Part II #RSF2023
Even though the Women, Peace, and Security agenda has been in place since 2001, the reality on the ground is often quite different. Instead of rising to the challenge, sometimes the international norms and standards don't meet the expectations. The situations are slowly improving, but often, we're not making it at the right time and at the right place to support women and children in international crisis situations and post-conflict areas. Therefore, for the second time in this year's #RSF2023 edition, we have gathered to talk about the role of gender and, thus, women and children in various conflict situations - the need to empower women, children, and minorities in conflict and post-conflict environments as well as in peacetime. Those issues are being discussed between Merissa Khurma, Program Director of the Middle East Program at the Wilson Center, and Elizabete Elina Vizgunova-Vikmane, Researcher at the Latvian Institute of International Affairs. The project is the result of successful cooperation between the Latvian Institute of International Affairs, the NATO Public Diplomacy Division, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Baltic States, the Embassies of the United States, Poland, Canada, Spain as well as international provider of defence, security and aviation life cycle support services and technology solutions "Patria", Riga Graduate School of Law and 5G Techritory forum.
