Senior Policy Fellow and the Head of the Berlin office, European Council on Foreign Relations
- How should the Alliance address these security concerns and find an appropriate balance between them?
- Is a collective NATO response even possible, and how should responsibilities for dealing with these challenges be shared with the EU?
- What should it learn from the COVID-19 pandemic, and should it enhance its role in internal crisis management to deal with future eventualities?
- Does it have a role in broader security issues such as climate change and energy?
- Or should it focus more on its core mission of deterrence and collective defence?
- Should NATO become more political and make itself a key forum for transatlantic exchanges on a broader range of security topics?
- What are the practical implications of these decisions for the Alliance and the Allies? What opportunities do emerging technologies offer?
- Will defence budgets be adequate?
