  Workshop “EU, Russia and Turkey – security trends and challenges in a contested neighborhood”. The discussion is part of the “Periphery at Risk” series of workshops and public lectures in the coming months and is organized by the Centre for Liberal Strategies - Sofia, the Bruno Kreisky Forum for international Dialogue in Vienna, the European Council on Foreign Relations, and the Bureau for Security Policy of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Defense and Sports. The workshop will take place in Vienna on 18-19 June 2013. The discussions are intended as a framework for open debate among the participants under Chatham House Rule. The “Periphery at Risk” series of discussions aims to explore the possibility of a common effort between the EU, Russia and Turkey in order to bring stability in Europe’s Southern periphery - namely the Balkans and the Middle East. These two European peripheries are of very different nature. While in the Balkans the risk is one of the reverse of the process of post-crisis consolidation, in the Middle East we face a most powerful demonstration of global political awakening that brings vast opportunities but also significant risks for the stability of Europe. In both regions there is a clear and present risk of political violence, migration flows and state failure that can affect negatively not only the EU but also Turkey and Russia. In these two regions on Europe’s Southern periphery the level of cooperation and the stakes of the EU, Russia and Turkey are very different. Although Europeans were quick to hail the rise of a multipolar world, they were much slower to spot the parallel emergence of a multipolar Europe, which is increasingly defined by competition between the continent’s major powers – the EU, Russia and Turkey – for influence in a contested neighborhood. In this new context, the question is: Is it possible for the EU, Russia and Turkey to cooperate in order to reduce security risks in the Balkans and the Middle East? In order to address this issue, we have established a network of independent think tanks that could create a common framework for assessing the risks and advocate for common policies and common solutions. The members of the network are the Centre for Liberal Strategies, Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue, the European Council on Foreign Relations, the Centre for Economics and Foreign Policy Studies (EDAM), the Center for Strategic Communication (STRATIM), the Russian International Affairs Council, and the Russian Council on Foreign and Defense Policy.
