The Fall Conference, “NATO at a Strategic Inflection Point: Emerging Threats and the Future of Collective Defense,” will examine the health of the transatlantic alliance across several dimensions, including cohesion among member countries; whether NATO is technologically prepared for 21st-century warfare involving low-cost drones, cyber operations, and asymmetric warfare; and the alliance’s evolving missions to protect not only Europe but also emerging strategic areas, including the Arctic, where China, Russia and other nations are seeking strategic advantages.
