Taken from the official event site:

“The political and economic upheavals of the past decade have presented formidable challenges for Scotland. These challenges are linked to its role as a member of the United Kingdom but also to its status as a nation with distinct political, strategic and economic interests that flow from its history and from its geographical position facing the North Sea reaching up to the Arctic. How does Scotland position itself in a rapidly changing world order, in relation to the UK, Europe, and the rest of the world? In this panel, members of the newly founded Scottish Council on Global Affairs will discuss these question and more.”

The event will be chaired by Dr. Rita Abrahamsen, Director of CIPS and Professor at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa.

From SCoGA, speakers include Dr Claire Duncanson, Senior Lecturer in International Relations, University of Edinburgh, Peter Jackson, Executive Director, Scottish Council on Global Affairs and Chair, Global Security, University of Glasgow, and Stephen Gethins, Professor in Practice at the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews.
