GLOBcast: Convening the Council EP#14 for Future of Security
In the first episode of GLOBcast: Convening the Council, Federica Mangiameli, Policy Fellow at GLOBSEC, is joined by Admiral Rob Bauer, former Chair of NATO’s Military Committee and former Chief of Defence of the Netherlands.
Drawing on his experience at the highest levels of NATO decision-making, Admiral Bauer reflects on how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has reshaped the Alliance’s approach to deterrence, defence, and readiness. The conversation explores the evolution of modern warfare, from hybrid threats and cyber operations to the growing importance of civilian infrastructure, supply chains, and societal resilience.
The episode also discusses capability gaps among European Allies, the role of air and missile defence, and whether NATO societies can realistically prepare for the demands of future conflict.

GLOBcast: Convening the Council EP#13 for Future of Security
Holding the Line: NATO’s Eastern Flank & Resistance.
Martin Sklenár, Director of GLOBSEC’s Future of Security Programme, speaks with Estonian parliamentarian Raimond Kaljulaid on NATO’s eastern flank, Russia’s expanding use of grey-zone tactics, modern intelligence sharing, and the lessons Estonia offers for today’s security environment. A timely conversation on how deterrence, resilience, and cooperation are being reshaped as security threats intensify across Europe.
Some of the key episode questions include:
How has NATO’s eastern flank evolved since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and where do the biggest vulnerabilities remain?
What do Russia’s grey-zone tactics look like in practice, and how should democracies respond without escalating conflict?
How is intelligence sharing adapting to hybrid threats, cyber operations, and disinformation campaigns?
What lessons from Estonia’s security model are most relevant for allies seeking to strengthen resilience today?
