The Politics of Transatlantic Security
RUSI's relationship with NATO has endured and prospered since the formation of the North Atlantic alliance in 1949.
Today, the alliance's future is a major area of research across the Institute. The European Security and Transatlantic Security programmes explore the politics of NATO's future, including its relationship with European defence institutions, and the alliance's transformation into a global entity.
RUSI's Military Sciences research examines how this debate will affect NATO in practice.
The Land Operations and Capabilities programme studies the current problems of coalition warfare and counterinsurgency in Afghanistan. NATO's recent anti-piracy operations have been explored by the Maritime Studies programme.
In the alliance's sixtieth year of existence, RUSI experts continue to engage with NATO policy makers at the highest levels - influencing the forthcoming NATO Strategic Concept, and helping to develop the alliance's transformation agenda.
