More information
Back in 1949, the NATO was formed as a linchpin of the US strategic commitment to defending Europe against the Soviet threat. Seventy years on NATO faces a new set of challenges. The end of the Cold War presented the world’s most powerful military alliance with a new reality. A search for a new purpose and identity has begun. NATO had to manage several crisis, ranging from the conflict in the Balkans to threats of piracy in the Indian Ocean, to the crisis in the Middle East. More recently, the growing power rivalry with Russia and the future of its relations with the US under President Donald trump emerged as new strategic challenges for the alliance.
