The Geneva Centre for Security Policy
The 2010 Gstaad Process meeting was held in Switzerland from 16-18 September. Entitled “Beyond Geopolitics – Common Challenges, Joint Solutions?”, the event was organised by the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) with the financial support of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA). Additional partners and contributors were the James Martin Center for Non-proliferation Studies in Monterey (California) and the PIR Center (Moscow). The Gstaad Process aims to give senior officials and academics from the United States, the Russian Federation, and Europe a platform to discuss and examine their relations in the domain of security. In 2010, participants focused on issues such as non-proliferation and disarmament, the strategic use of outer space, cybersecurity, and challenges to the Chemical Weapons Convention. This report presents the principal themes that emerged out of the discussions, following the sequential order of the sessions. A special note of gratitude is extended to those speakers who shared their speaking points to facilitate the production of this report.
