Andor Nagy (Hungarian Ambassador to Austria) speach at the 27th International Summer University.
The rise of Russian military intervention in Europe, the increasing economic relevance of China, and the changing power of the Global West have all impacted the position of Central and South-East Europe within the global geopolitical order. Thinking from the region towards the ever-changing shape of international order, the panel evaluates the position of Central and South-East Europe within a re-awakened cold-war scenario of increased global tensions. Taking seriously the effects that current international repositioning might have on the region, the panel asks how Central and South-East European states and their citizens may be affected in terms of their position in Europe, their stance within the NATO alliance, their capacity to ensure energy security, and their potential directives regarding international economic cooperation and development.
