Munich Security Report 2020: Westlessness

Is the world becoming less Western? Is the West itself becoming less Western, too? The Munich Security Report 2020 sheds light on the phenomenon that it refers to as "Westlessness".

Our Mission

We provide a venue for official and non-official diplomatic initiatives and ideas to address the world's most pressing security concerns.

Our Audience

We believe in the need for an informed and sustained public debate on security policy and aim to involve the wider public in our discussions.

Our Focus

We embrace a comprehensive definition of security, which encompasses not only traditional national or military security, but also takes into account the economic, environmental, and human dimensions of security.

Look back at the MSC 2020

The world has become a pretty dangerous and often lawless place. And the West seems to be going through a sort of identity crisis.
