Episode 12. NATO Today, NATO Tomorrow

NATO has come a long way since its foundation in 1949. In this episode we discuss how NATO continues to protect its nations by deterring aggression and adapting to engage new security challenges. We will also highlight the importance of NATO partnerships and their impact on missions across the globe. Finally, we will give a glimpse into the future of the Alliance. 

Today, NATO continues to deter aggression and to protect the territorial integrity and independence of its members. It engages emerging security challenges like cyberwarfare and hybrid warfare. NATO also continues to build capabilities in the fields of peace keeping and crisis management. Thanks to its partnership agreements with nations across the globe, today NATO is the most prominent and effective security forum.

This episode brings together experts from NATO Headquarters to talk about the recent developments in the military command structure and how the Alliance continues to adapt and transform.
