The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is the world’s largest, most powerful military alliance. The Alliance has navigated and survived the Cold War, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the post-9/11 era. Since the release of the 2010 Strategic Concept, NATO’s strategic environment has again undergone significant change. The need to adapt is clear. An opportunity to assess the Alliance’s achievements and future goals has now emerged with the Secretary General’s drive to create a new Strategic Concept for the next decade—an initiative dubbed NATO 2030. A necessary step for formulating a new strategic outlook will thus be understanding the future that faces NATO. To remain relevant and adjust to new circumstances, the Alliance must identify its main challenges and opportunities in the next ten years and beyond. This book contributes to critical conversations on NATO’s future vitality by examining the Alliance’s most salient issues and by offering recommendations to ensure its effectiveness moving forward. Written by a diverse, multigenerational group of policymakers and academics from across Europe and the United States, this book provides new insights about NATO’s changing threat landscape, its shifting internal dynamics, and the evolution of warfare. The volume’s authors tackle a wide range of issues, including the challenges of Russia and China, democratic backsliding, burden sharing, the extension of warfare to space and cyberspace, partnerships, and public opinion. With rigorous assessments of NATO’s challenges and opportunities, each chapter provides concrete recommendations for the Alliance to chart a path for the future. As such, this book is an indispensable resource for NATO’s strategic planners and security and defense experts more broadly.

Future NATO looks at the challenges facing NATO in the 21st century and examines how the Alliance can adapt to ensure its continued success For more than 70 years, the North Atlantic Alliance has helped to preserve peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area. It has been able to adjust to varying political and strategic challenges. We must ensure that NATO continues to be effective in the future. This requires looking ahead, challenging habitual approaches, exchanging ideas, and advancing new thinking. I highly recommend Future NATO to policymakers, military professionals and scholars alike, as it offers necessary critical and constructive analysis of current and future challenges posed to our security and defence.Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, Minister of Defence, Germany Since 1949, NATO has successfully upheld common principles and adapted to new realities. As Future NATO examines, the Alliance is facing a new set of external and internal challenges in the decades to come. The Alliance and its partners need to remain committed to future changes. I recommend this excellent study to all, but especially to the younger generation of scholars and future policymakers. Trine Bramsen, Minister of Defence, Denmark Over the last 70 years, Europe has lived in peace and prosperity because of NATO, with unity as our most important weapon. We may have our differences, but we will continue to work on our common cause to promote peace, security and stability. To effectively do so, NATO needs to continuously adapt to changing security situations. An important current challenge is to ensure European Allies take more responsibility for their security. But we also need to look at future challenges and find innovative solutions for them. Future NATO offers a useful analysis that can help us prepare for what is to come for the Alliance. Ank Bijleveld, Minister of Defence, The Netherlands

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade: 1,0, University of Wroclaw, language: English, abstract: After the end of the Soviet Communism, the NATO was described by many experts as a dying institution. Kenneth Waltz, an American political scientist judged the NATO in 1990 as a "disappearing thing" and he forecasted, that it's only a question of time until this institution will become insignificant.1 The big common enemy was missing and the probability of a new rising threat for western civilization was about zero. The need of article V, including its security guarantees seemed to be useless and therewith the "raison d'être" of the biggest multilateral intergovernmental security community was lost. Critics see the NATO as a relic from the Cold War and suspect the United States of America to utilize this institution in order to enlarge and intensify their worldwide sphere of influence.2 The only fait accompli is the fact that NATO has changed. To underline this statement General Secretary Robertson was wearing a t-shirt, with the slogan "This ain't your daddy's NATO", at the NATO summit 2003 in Colorado Springs.3 The question accrues what the NATO exactly is in our days and if the changes made, since 1990 are significant enough to guarantee the survival of the biggest multilateral military alliance? The following essay analyzes what the NATO is and investigates the different future scenarios of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

The Kremlin has sought to establish an exclusive Russian sphere of influence in the nations lying between Russia and the EU, from Georgia in 2008 to Ukraine in 2014 and Belarus in 2020. It has extended its control by means of military intervention, territorial annexation, economic pressure and covert activities. Moscow seeks to justify this behavior by referring to an alleged threat from NATO and the Alliance’s eastward enlargement. In the rhetoric of the Kremlin, NATO expansion is the main source for Moscow’s stand-off with the West. This collection of essays and analyses by prominent politicians, diplomats, and scholars from the US, Russia, and Europe provides personal perspectives on the sources of the Russian-Western estrangement. They draw on historical experience, including the Russian-Western controversies that intensified with NATO's eastward expansion in the 1990s, and reflect on possible perspectives of reconcilitation within the renewed transatlantic relationship. The volume touches upon alleged and real security guarantees for the countries of Eastern and Central Europe as well as past and current deficits in the Western strategy for dealing with an increasingly hostile Russia. Thus, it contributes to the ongoing Western debate on which policies towards Russia can help to overcome the deep current divisions and to best meet Europe’s future challenges.

This monograph examines the NATO Alliance and its transition from a 1949 defense security guarantee, between 16 independent nations into a collective security arrangement. The 1991 NATO Summit formalized this shift from an adversarial relationship between east and west, to one of engagement through Partnership for Peace (PfP) a NATO alliance initiative designed to enhance stability throughout Europe. The focus of this monograph is on the Partnership for Peace initiative that was designed to engage the allies and client states of the former Soviet Union. NATO in 1991 found its Cold War strategic objectives out of balance with the realities of a new European environment. The aim of PfP is to establish a bond between the NATO members and the nations of Eastern and Central Europe, the Balkans, and the Caucasus. It is a political and military consultative process that is based on the framework of the objectives the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council laid out. These objectives frame the PIP initiative. These are designed to: enhance democratic principles, reinforce the military subordination to civilian control, and support human rights in the former Soviet satellite nations.
