Keynote Session: Rethinking Alliance(s)
Keynote speech by Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe
September 22, 19:45-20:00
The burden of conventional defence within NATO is shifting towards the European Allies. This session will consider the respective roles of the US and the other Allies under these new arrangements and examine how NATO can continue to increase military readiness for credible deterrence and collective defence while preserving cohesion. It will also explore some of the wider implications of the ‘Europeanisation’ of the Alliance.
