The Future of EU and NATO military strategy
Pax et Bellum is excited to welcome Brigadier General Dennis Gyllensporre from the Swedish Armed Forces who is also a visiting researcher at the Department of Peace and Conflict studies
on Friday the 20th of January at 16. Brig. Gen. Gyllensporre will discuss his new book ‘Pursuing Strategy: NATO Operations from the Gulf War to Gaddafi’ that will be published in February, in addition to discussing the EU as a crisis management actor in light of the Common Security and Defense Policy.
Formulating a strategy involves complex interactions between politicians, strategic commanders and generals in the field. It is a misconception that overall strategies radiate solely from political leaders. Instead, military officers at an operational level can achieve change as General McChrystal did for Afghanistan in 2009.
The event will take place at the Alva Myrdal room at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research, Gamla Torget 3. Note that seating will be limited at the Alva Myrdal room. To make sure you fit in, please come on time.
Fika will be available for 20kr. For more information about this event contact Caroline Folmer (Head of Activities)
