The 2024 Czech Security Forum, co-organised by the Institute of International Relations Prague and the Peace Research Center Prague, targeted the topic of Great Power Rivalry and the European Security Order. A focal point of the conference was the role of NATO in the broader European security architecture. The guests from both domestic and international academia aimed at putting the European security order in the global context and highlighted the necessity to take into account the increased great power rivalry and the role of China in the understanding of security developments on the European continent. Moreover, the role of arms control mechanisms and nuclear arsenals was addressed - Russia’s open military aggression against neighbouring Ukraine and the ongoing tensions in the South China Sea that highlight the current lack of confidence-building measures, the crumbling arms control architecture, and the unwillingness to utilize international institutions for conflict resolution.
The talks also addressed the Czech contribution to enhancing the deterrence and defence posture of Europe and analyze the role of NATO in empowering partners, such as Ukraine, as well as other vulnerable actors in Europe’s neighbourhood in the face of evolving security challenges.
