The Western world order as we know it is at risk, according to the annual Munich Security Report.

Dear Colleague,

Carnegie Europe’s Judy Dempsey, editor in chief of the Strategic Europe blog, was on the ground at the 2017 Munich Security Conference offering readers analysis of the debates as they unfolded.

Five issues dominated this year’s conference: a liberal global order under threat, pressures on the transatlantic bond, NATO defense spending, Russia, and the way the EU will be shaped by France’s upcoming presidential election.

Below are Dempsey’s main takeaways and insights from other participants in Munich.
