Dear Sir or Madam, dear reader,
To provide answers to key issues for the future of NATO our new study "The Future of NATO" analyses security policy debates in a representative sample of NATO members, key non-members, and within the Alliance itself. Our analysis reveals both similarities and striking differences, depending on how the threat situation is perceived in each case.
In the face of Russian aggression against Ukraine, NATO has only recently managed to reaffirm its raison d'être as a collective security alliance by expanding its membership and a clear strategic reorientation. But in the midst of this dynamic, new challenges are coming into focus.
A direct follow-up to our study "Three Visions for NATO" (2021), "The Future of NATO" study outlines three ideal-typical models for the Alliance's development based on comprehensive country studys. One key focus is how the Alliance might continue to exist without the US playing a leadership role and how Europe can enhance its role within the NATO.

We hope you enjoy reading the study and look forward to your feedback.
