Security and defense have moved right to the top of the European agenda. But who actually decides when the EU builds up its defenses? Meet Pernille Lundby Dokkedal, PhD student in Political Science at Aarhus University, for a timely talk on the power struggle and strategies behind the EU's new security and defense policy.

In her talk, Pernille dives into how the EU's security policy is governed, and not least how the European Commission is currently attempting to strengthen its own role in defense policy – an area that has traditionally been dominated by the member states themselves. She will give us an insight into the recent years' development of the European defense industry, strategic negotiations, and what this means for the integration of Europe's defense.

Among other things, we will cover:

• Who holds the power in the EU's security and defense policy

• How the European defense industry is developing right now

• What a stronger European defense cooperation means in an uncertain world

Sikkerhed og forsvar er rykket helt til tops på den europæiske dagsorden. Men hvem bestemmer egentlig, når EU opruster? Mød Pernille Lundby Dokkedal, ph.d.-studerende i statskundskab ved Aarhus Universitet, til et aktuelt oplæg om magtkampen og strategierne bag EU's nye sikkerheds- og forsvarspolitik.

I sit oplæg dykker Pernille ned i, hvordan EU's sikkerhedspolitik styres, og ikke mindst hvordan EU-Kommissionen i disse år forsøger at styrke sin egen rolle i forsvarspolitikken – et område, der traditionelt har været domineret af medlemsstaterne selv. Hun vil give os indblik i de seneste års udvikling af europæisk forsvarsindustri, strategiske forhandlinger, og hvad det betyder for integrationen af Europas forsvar.

Vi kommer blandt andet omkring:

• Hvem der har magten i EU's forsvars- og sikkerhedspolitik

• Hvordan den europæiske forsvarsindustri udvikler sig lige nu

• Hvad et stærkere europæisk forsvarssamarbejde betyder i en usikker verden.

• 5 min. introduktion af Mads Poulsen - Formand for Europæisk Ungdom Aarhus
