NATO at 70: Peace in a Changing Security environment
Publisher: Ginta T. Palubinskas
Volume: 16 pages, pdf
Description:
Seventy years after its inception, the international order is unraveling, and the international security terrain is changing. Europe is fragmented, Russia has expanded, and the United States has waffled in its stewardship of the liberal order. The solidarity between democratic nations that bound the international security order has declined. Populism and authoritarianism are on the rise, and democracy is under threat across the globe. The lack of cohesion between the United States and its European Allies and partners has called established relationships into question, complicated longstanding international issues, and eroded protections offered by NATO. This article examines NATO at 70 and assesses its ability to keep the peace in a changing security environment.
