As world leaders prepare for the NATO Summit in Chicago this May, a new Atlantic Council report argues for renewed transatlantic leadership that will allow NATO to better address significant global issues with a unified voice—specifically in the greater Middle East and around cyber security—in order to remain relevant in today’s increasingly interconnected world.
Published today by Atlantic Council Distinguished Fellow Franklin D. Kramer, “Transatlantic Nations and Global Security: Pivoting and Partnerships” comes on the heels of President Obama’s newly released US defense strategy that outlines a more robust US focus on security in the Asia-Pacific. This so-called "pivot" toward Asia by the United States has implications for the transatlantic bargain as the US commitment to the Alliance comes into question.
