    • THE STATE OF THE WORLD

    location_onArtemis Hall | European Cultural Centre of Delphi

    Programming Partner: RAND Corporation

    Recovery and reconstruction in Ukraine might be the largest post-war rebuilding effort in modern history. If implemented successfully, it will take its place as the next step in the multigenerational effort to reconstruct and reintegrate Europe, from Western Europe after WWII, Central and Eastern Europe after the Cold War, and the Western Balkans after the violent breakup of Yugoslavia. While Ukraine can and should set the priorities, success will require joint U.S. and European leadership. This panel will explore the many dimensions of the Ukraine reconstruction challenge from the U.S. and the European perspective, including factors that have led to success in past efforts; financing; coordination among donors, international financial institutions, and Ukraine; ensuring the integrity of reconstruction spending; the need for Ukraine to engage in internal reforms; the security dimension of Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction; and the upcoming Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024, to be hosted in Berlin this June.
