What we can learn about security from areas that have been less affected by the pandemic: the case of Scandinavia

Security Thought Leadership: in conversation with Martin Gill

We have tended to focus our attention on areas that have been worse affected by the pandemic. However, in a previous webinar on the impact of the pandemic on Scandinavia we heard that the impact had been modest, certainly much less than the worst affected nations. A main challenge was managing fears that the pandemic had generated, as much about safety as security. In this webinar we revisit a part of the world that has been widely heralded as coping well in the crisis. So how are things now? What have been the implications, if any, for the direction security is taking? Has the security sector come through unscathed?
This webinar will discuss:
- In what ways has security had to adapt in response to the recent crisis?
- What would have been done differently, if anything, knowing what we do now?
- What are the key priorities and challenges for the security sector as we move to a post pandemic world?
Panellists:
