The maintenance of peace in Europe must not and cannot be taken for granted. Unless Europeans do far more for their own defence, the Americans will be unable to defend them, but there is no credible future war, future defence of Europe without the Americans! Five lines of strategy are thus needed: managing Russia with defence and dialogue; balancing post-COVID-19 human security and national defence; re-establishing European strategic realism and responsibility via a genuine NATO–EU partnership; building a strategic public–private partnership; and really adapting NATO to meet the future war, future defence challenge of Europe. This chapter details these.

Opportunities for PPP in Culture In recent years, the importance of PPP has increased - but the projects still remain focused and concentrated in the infrastructure / transport industry. Public-private partnership in some areas of the cultural sector could provide many benefits to both par-ties. There is at present an absence of any mentionable experience with PPP projects in the culture and no special legislation for this application area. This article aims to provide a brief analysis of the advantages and problems of the PPP projects in the field of culture that is dominated by the state offers and their influence on the future situation in this sector.

Set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 crisis, Future War and the Defence of Europe considers in the round how peace can be maintained on a continent that has suffered two cataclysmic conflicts since 1914. COVID-19 and the trend-accelerating impact of such pandemics is first considered. The book then weaves history, strategy, policy, and technology into a compelling analytical narrative that sets the scale of the challenge Europeans and their allies will face if Europe’s peace is to be upheld in a transformative century. The book challenges foundational assumptions about how Europe’s defence is organized, the role of a fast-changing transatlantic relationship, NATO, the European Union, and their constituent nation-states. At the heart of the book is a radical vision of a technology-enabling future European defence built around a new kind of Atlantic alliance, an innovative strategic public–private partnership, and the future hyper-electronic European force it must spawn. Europeans should be under no illusion: unless they do far more for their own defence, and very differently, all that Europeans now take for granted could be lost in the maze of hybrid war, cyber war, and hyperwar they must face.

The present article explores the possibilities of restoring the tourism industry in the Russian Federation by attracting investment and public-private partnership. The purpose of the study is to analyze the possibilities of restoring the Russian tourism industry, taking into account the losses incurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to determine the main areas of state support. The article provides an analysis of statistical information showing the calculated amount of damage to the tourism industry from the spread of coronavirus infection, and possible negative consequences in the future, as well as data from an expert sociological survey. The authors analyze the measures and the need for state support for the industry that is in an ongoing state of economic crisis and note the problems of tourism development in Russia and several European countries that resulted from the spread of coronavirus infection. The authors consider possibilities and prospects of restoring the tourism industry in the future, describe measures to support the tourism industry planned by the Russian government, as well as anti-crisis programs undertaken in several European countries that are designed to help the tourism industry survive during the crisis. It is shown that support measures undertaken in Russia are incomparable with the help provided to the tourism industry by the governments of several European countries. The authors question the effectiveness of these measures as well as consider possible changes in the business model of the tourism industry and the opportunities to increase the role of public-private partnership projects. The results and suggestions proposed by the authors will be of interest to both the tourism business practitioners, investors in the tourism industry, representatives of relevant government agencies, and researchers studying issues of state regulation of the tourist services market.
