This webinar will focus on the dimension of “Global NATO” and its influence not only on transatlantic relations, but also on the politics of Eurasia, Australia and Southeast Asia. Our speakers will provide information on NATO’s current development, refute the alleged defensive character of the military alliance and illustrate its global dimension. In the introductory remarks, this global dimension of NATO is presented in particular.
