About Defense and Democracy Dialogue: Why We Fight
From the publisher's feed
⚔️ Freedom and democracy are no longer challenged only on the battlefield. Cyberattacks, strategic corruption, AI-enabled influence operations, and energy coercion increasingly target NATO and EU democracies.
The Defense and Democracy Dialogue by the Center for the Study of Democracy brings together military leaders, policymakers, and experts to explore how democracies can defend themselves and Europe’s Eastern flank.
Tune in for in-depth conversations with leading security voices and sessions from our annual Why We Fight conference in Sofia.
