Why it is time to upgrade the Turkish-Polish defence partnership

As Europe races to strengthen its defences in response to Russia’s war against Ukraine, attention has focused largely on Brussels-led initiatives and rising military budgets. Yet one of the continent’s most strategically important defence opportunities may lie elsewhere: in a deeper partnership between Poland and Turkey.

Between NATO and strategic autonomy: What the Iran war reveals about Türkiye’s balancing strategy

Ankara’s response to the ongoing conflict in Iran has revealed growing nuances in its foreign policy. Careful and deliberate language has been used in order to balance both NATO and unilateral goals concerning the wider region at this time.

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.

From support to strategy: Europe’s unfinished role in Ukraine

Europe has provided unprecedented support to Ukraine since 2022. Yet as the war enters a prolonged phase, the absence of a coordinated long-term framework risks turning this effort into a reactive and fragmented response.

Establishing NATO’s “East Shield”

The situation on the Polish eastern border has demonstrated that threats to Poland and the European Union are no longer purely military. Hybrid warfare directed westwards is made up of a composite of orchestrated migration, cyberattacks, disinformation and acts of border sabotage. This complex threat landscape demands an equally sophisticated and multidimensional response.

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.

At its 2025 summit in The Hague, NATO confronted a pivotal moment, agreeing on a historic pledge to spend five per cent of GDP on defence by 2035. The decision was welcomed by US President Donald Trump and signalled unity. However, it also exposed deep undercurrents of challenges facing the Alliance.

Not all quiet on the Southern Flank

The 2025 NATO summit in The Hague marked a strategic turning point for European and Mediterranean security, compelling Allies to commit to a substantial increase in defence investment. This renewed focus is not solely about countering Russia on the Eastern Flank. It should also provide fresh resources to address enduring vulnerabilities and asymmetries across the South.

Beyond compromise: towards the Europeanization of NATO’s Eastern Flank

NATO’s post-Cold War enlargement promised a stable and prosperous future for Central and Eastern Europe. Yet compromises meant to accommodate Russia left the Alliance’s Eastern Flank exposed for years. Today, with renewed uncertainty in transatlantic politics, European allies face the challenge of strengthening deterrence without relying too heavily on the United States.
