Over two weeks, 22 senior officers and civilians from 15 NATO countries participated in specific modules of the NDC Senior Course, thereby enhancing their understanding of NATO\u2019s strategic environment and fostering multinational dialogue<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through a combination of lectures and committee work, MSC 147-2 participants examined major political, military, social and economic trends across several strategic regions, including Central Asia, the High North, the Western Balkans, the South Caucasus, the Middle East, North Africa and the Sahel, as well as the Indo-Pacific. The course aimed to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of the interests of key actors, to assess regional dynamics, and to identify potential risks, opportunities, and challenges to global stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the regional overviews, two dedicated seminars offered in-depth insights into China\u2019s and Russia\u2019s respective agendas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The China Seminar facilitated in-depth discussions on Chinese political, economic and security trends, specifically regarding military modernization and the implications for global and regional stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Russia Seminar focused on Russia\u2019s strategic ambitions and foreign policy, particularly the impact of its aggressive actions on Euro-Atlantic security. Participants explored Russia\u2019s evolving posture and its implications for NATO and its partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Modular Short Course offered participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding of complex international and regional dynamics, while engaging in insightful exchanges with their peers on matters critical to the Alliance and global security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
