Last week, the Army War College's SSI partnered with the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies and the German Marshall Fund of the U.S. to conduct a roll-out event for the 2016 German Defense White Paper (or Weissbuch). This White Paper was the first written in a decade, and represents a paradigm shift in German security policy. Dr. John R. Deni discusses the White Paper and its most significant aspects, outlines the implications for Europe and the transatlantic alliance, and encourages listeners to watch the entire half-day conference at the SSI website. Released 30 September 2016.
