How Georgia is being led away from NATO

In Georgia, the ruling elite increasingly presents neutrality as the country’s only viable path. Yet this narrative obscures the extent to which that same elite actively erodes trust in NATO and weakens Georgia’s engagement with the Alliance.

Why expanding the Bucharest 9 format will not add more security to NATO’s Eastern Flank

The Romanian-led Bucharest 9 format has signalled its intention to expand in order to include various Nordic states. While such claims clearly show ambition, it is important that the Romanian government does not neglect its role in its traditional backyard, the Black Sea.

The Balkans in the multipolar moment

Wider shifts in the global order are challenging the foreign policy trajectories of Balkan states. While expectations have existed of a clear integration into western structures, the current reality reveals a variety of relationships with powers outside the region. Credible action by the West is necessary if a feasible model of development is to persist among local states.

The collapse of the European security order

The sense that Europe is adrift in the emerging world order reflects both external shocks and internal shortcomings. On the one hand, the United States is signalling that Europe is no longer the central theatre of American strategy. On the other, Europeans remain divided on how far they are willing to go in assuming real strategic responsibility, or the so-called European strategic autonomy.

Shoring up the Balkans: NATO infrastructure and a warning for democracy

Recent shifts in US foreign policy are placing the Western Balkans in a difficult position. While internal issues are challenging a delicate peace, outside forces are only exacerbating these issues. It now falls to the European Union to provide a clear path forward amidst such uncertainty.

Security at a crossroads. How US and Russia push for a new European order through “peace” in Ukraine

For the first time in more than 25 years, a NATO ministerial meeting has taken place without the US Secretary of State attending. Washington’s decision was a clear diplomatic message – one the Alliance would rather not spell out.

Testing NATO’s Limits?

There is little reason to believe that Russia is planning a large-scale war against Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris. However, Russia needs far less to achieve its goals.

Built with doubt and worry: NATO in the second Trump presidency

Declaring that NATO is on the cusp of dying is premature. It is far from moribund. However, while the Alliance will likely persist, this does not mean that it has a clean slate of health.

NATO during the second Trump administration: Actions speak louder than words

Many recent assessments of US foreign policy suggest that the second presidential term of Donald Trump is having a disruptive and potentially destructive impact on transatlantic relations. This is particularly the case regarding NATO’s future and the American commitment to European security. However, fears that the administration will renege on the US commitment to European security and NATO are simply misplaced.

When European security meets reality

Russia’s full-scale military invasion and occupation of Ukrainian territory has flagrantly violated the fragile post-Cold War security ecosystem shaped by the transatlantic community. The intricate structure of European security requires bold and decisive action to establish an effective and credible mechanism of deterrence and response. Such a mechanism must rest upon a multi-level construction of the transatlantic security community.
