On November 1st and 2nd, I had the pleasure to participate in a conference titled “New Perspectives on Military Politics” organised by Royal Danish Defence College (RDDC), and the University of South Denmark (SDU). The conference brought together an interesting set of strategic thinkers, military professionals and academics from the North Atlantic community to reflect jointly on the relation of military and politics, and the state of the debate on civil-military relations. I had the pleasure to chair a panel at the conference.
