The systemic nature of international problems, the conflict in relations between Russia, the USA and the EU, the plurality of development models of countries and regions, the impasse in the formation of the European security system, different approaches to perception of regional and global threats lead to a vacuum of trust and governance.
Processes in contemporary international relations require different approaches, methods, and toolkits. One of the basic concepts becomes the common definition of "threats to peace and security”. Identification of common threats will allow to develop a consolidated position on the key risks and challenges of our time common for the world’s leading actors.
The international scientific conference «Regional strategies of international security: EU Member States, Middle East and Russia» aims to discuss the global security problems, its geopolitical, sociocultural and religious factors, to investigate categories of threats and risks, including potential ones, and peculiarities of their diverse visions in the three mentioned regions. The conference will also allow to develop conceptual framework of the agenda, including the concept of «threat to peace and security», to identify points of stability and criteria of international security, to develop approaches to setting regional security strategies.
