The 17th iteration of our annual conference on NATO deterrence will explore how NATO can and should adapt to the new geopolitical landscape. Key questions will be:

  • What is NATO’s deterrence strategy?
  • What impact has recent turmoil within and outside the Alliance had on it?
  • What are the main components of NATO’s deterrence posture and the relationships among them?
  • With US and allied commitments now in place to modernise and adapt that posture, what next steps are both necessary and possible?
