Strengthening the Transatlantic Partnership: A View from Europe
What will the relationship between the United States and Europe look like in a world defined by growing competition and uncertainty? On Friday, September 25, 2026 the World Affairs Council of New Hampshire and the Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership & Public Service partner for a timely conversation, “Strengthening the Transatlantic Partnership: A View from Europe,” with Spyridon Flogaitis, Director of the European Public Law Organization.
The program takes place at UNH Law, 2 White Street in Concord, Room 282, at 12 noon and includes a light lunch starting at 11:30 am. The program is free, but registration is required at https://wacnh.org/event-6762140.
For more than 75 years, the United States and Europe have worked together through wars, economic crises, and global challenges, building a partnership rooted in shared values and common interests. Today, that relationship faces new pressures as geopolitical competition intensifies, economic priorities shift, and the global order evolves.
This moderated Q&A explores a European perspective on how the United States and Europe can adapt their partnership for a changing world—not as competitors in a zero-sum contest, but as partners capable of advancing shared security, prosperity, and democratic values.
