On September 6-7, 2016, The McCain Institute for International Leadership and the Economic Policy Research Center (EPRC) will host an international conference in Tbilisi, Georgia: “Europe’s Changing Geostrategic Landscape after the Warsaw Summit.” The two-day conference will take place at the Tbilisi Rooms Hotel.
The McCain Institute for International Leadership will be represented by Executive Director Hon. Kurt Volker and Senior Director for Human Rights & Democracy, The Hon. David J. Kramer. The Tbilisi International Conference provides a unique platform and brings together experienced political and security leaders from the United States, Western Europe, Georgia and the wider Euro-Atlantic community to discuss the vision of a Europe whole, free and at peace; the challenges facing Europe’s eastern nations; and strategies to move forward. The objective of this year’s conference, coming a few months after the Warsaw Summit, will be to facilitate input and participation of the countries most affected by the new realities in Europe; discuss existing and possible implications on their security, economic and democratic development; and design a vision and strategy for short, medium, and long-term security.
