In the wake to the highly anticipated encounter between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore, the Center for International Security and Governance hosted a lecture and panel discussion with Cathryn Clüver Ashbrook, Executive Director of the Future of Diplomacy Project at the Harvard Kennedy School, on June 14^th 2018.

Harvard Kennedy School, IE University, and the Rafael del Pino Foundation convene leading officials, journalists, and academics from both sides of the Atlantic in the conference "The Transatlantic Relationship in Crisis" in Madrid and Segovia July 6-8, 2018. The conference aims to strengthen the politics, economics, and security of an alliance that has anchored global order for 70 years.

At a time of questions about Europe’s unity, security, and prosperity—and about the commitment of the United States to its relationship with NATO and the European Union—the Belfer Center has launched a new Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship to reinvigorate a continental bond that has anchored global order, provided peace and stability, and fueled economic expansion for seven decades.
