On Saturday, February 14, 2026, the Aspen Institute Germany, in cooperation with Amerikahaus Munich, Tagesspiegel, and the Academic Association for Security Studies (BSH), will host an Oxford-Style Debate from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. on “Keeping the Peace or Fueling the Fire? The Future of Nuclear Deterrence” on the occasion of the Munich Security Conference. The debate will explore whether the modernization of nuclear arsenals strengthens global security through deterrence or exacerbates insecurity. Two teams will present opposing arguments in an Oxford-Style format, moderated for a live audience, providing a dynamic platform for dialogue. The discussion will bring together established experts and emerging leaders, fostering intergenerational exchange, and offering diverse perspectives on this critical issue. Speakers will be announced.
