Venue: Zoom; Minsk Dialogue’s Facebook page

Organizers: Minsk Dialogue Council on International Relations (Belarus), Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS Belarus) (Germany) and GCRF COMPASS (UK)

The pandemic disruption is not likely to change our world altogether, but it will clearly have profound geopolitical implications, including for international security. In order to understand those possible implications, the Minsk Dialogue Council on International Relations and KAS Belarus are launching a series of virtual panels that will zoom in on strategic dilemmas facing key pillars of international security in the post-corona world.

This online event will look at the United Kingdom:

• What specific security and geopolitical circumstances does the UK find itself in after Brexit and at the time of the pandemic disruption? 
• What major security policy dilemmas is the UK facing now and is likely to face as the Covid-19 crisis is over?
• How will Brexit and the pandemic and its longer-term effects impact the UK’s status and role in the international system? 
• What strategic implications will the (non)changing UK’s role in the world have for Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian security?

Please join us for this online panel, which will be held via Zoom and live-streamed on the Minsk Dialogue’s Facebook page. To ask a question, please use the chat, which will be available during the event. Registration is required to join the Zoom session.
