Haroon Sheikh, Ruth Mampuys & Franco Algieri: SECURITY POLICY IN A FRAGMENTING WORLD ORDER

In cooperation with the Embassy of the Netherlands in Vienna





Eva Nowotny in conversation with Haroon Sheikh, Ruth Mampuys and
Franco Algieri





SECURITY POLICY IN A FRAGMENTING WORLD
ORDER 





Eva Nowotny will talk with Prof. Haroon Sheikh, Dr. Ruth Mampuys
and Franco Algieri about Security Policy in a Fragmenting
World Order, based on their report The Netherlands in a
Fragmenting World Order. They will explore the evolving
geopolitical landscape and its implications for national and
international security strategies.





As global power dynamics shift and traditional alliances face new
challenges, countries like the Netherlands and Austria must
navigate in an increasingly complex world. With fragmentation
occurring across political, economic, and ideological lines,
security policy requires a recalibrated approach—one that
balances national interests, international cooperation, and
societal resilience.





Join us for an insightful talk featuring expert analysis on how
states can adapt their security policies in the face of emerging
threats, including geopolitical rivalries, technological
disruptions, and shifting global alliances. The discussion will
address Austria’s and the Netherlands‘ strategic positions and
the broader European response to these challenges.
