In their conversation during CIDOB’s international conference War and Peace in the 21st Century, Daniel Fiott and Max Bergmann, experts on defence and security, understand the present as a critical moment for the stability of the continent. Fiott, from the Brussels School of Governance, speaks of a "structural shift underway" in the transatlantic relationship. Bergmann, from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, regrets that, at this moment, there is no "real foreign-policy mechanism" capable of unifying the continent’s voices to address this challenge.
