The conference convenes international experts to discuss the current state, prospects and impact of various missile defense initiatives on a global and regional level. As for the global level, it seeks to explore the background of the Obama administration’s reorientation in the realm of missile defense and to assess its impact on great power relations as well as its compatibility with global zero as the new long-term goal of US arms control policy. On a regional level, the discussion focuses on the causality of the current rush towards missile defense in East Asia and the Middle East and how the deployments will affect regional stability.
