Quo Vadis NATO?  

NATO capability requirements: from expectations to delivery

How do NATO’s new regional plans address the current geopolitical landscape? Facing a revisionist Russia and having refocused on lessons learned from the Cold War era, has NATO done enough to adjust itself to the new security environment? In what ways can NATO enhance interoperability among member states to ensure that all allies can meet the new defence capability requirements effectively? What challenges do NATO allies face in terms of resource allocation, political will, and industrial capacity to fulfil the capability requirements, and how can these challenges be addressed collaboratively?
