A German Perspective
A German Perspective

Summary/Abstract: The new Strategic Concept will outline the perspectives, role and core functions of the Alliance in the security environment of the 21st century. It will specify its risk perceptions, a comprehensive and cooperative approach towards shaping peace and security as well as handling crisis management, and the conclusions for NATO’s political action and military contingencies for the next ten to fifteen years. I expect the document to deal with all issues related to these areas in a comprehensive but focused manner following the examples given in previous NATO’s documents such as the Alliance’s Strategic Concept of 1999. In my short presentation, I cannot touch upon all issues under consideration in detail but select just a few that are subject to a sometimes controversial debate.
