GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany (May 11, 2018) – The Marshall Center is hosting the European Security Seminar - East 18-09 titled "The Age of Post-Truth: State Influence and Strategic Communication: Developing Strategies to Address Contemporary Security Challenges on Europe's Eastern Flank" from May 14 to 18. This one-week seminar is held for the third time and designed to examine and analyze a major recurrent matter on the European and Euro-Atlantic security agenda – strategic communication. In 2016, the ESS-East addressed broader security issues, and in 2017, it dealt with hybrid warfare and resilience-building. This year’s ESS-E will examine, contemplate and rethink the topic with the involvement of mid-to-senior officials from Europe, Eurasia and the U.S., and build a network of security practitioners that address strategic communication.
