Welcome to a panel discussion on Sweden’s recent shift in foreign policy and what this means for human-centred security. The event will explore how a human security lens can continue to serve as a valuable framework for Sweden’s foreign policy in this new global era and discuss synergies between hard security and human-centred approaches.
The discussion kicks off a new Nordic dialogue series on human security and will situate Sweden’s policy transition within a regional and global conversation on the future of human security. The ‘Nordic Dialogues on Human Security’ project is a collaboration between SIPRI and the United Nations Trust Fund for Human Security.
The panel discussion will be followed by a reception.
