NATO
Our research and commentary considers the role and impact of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and assesses the effectiveness of such military alliances in the modern world.
An intergovernmental alliance between 30 European and North American countries, NATO is considered the premier security organisation in Europe, providing a system of collective defence. We look at the changing purpose and needs of such military alliances.
