Summary/Abstract: In NATO’s new strategy, the allies should include a description of the threat posed by Russia and bolster collective defence as the main priority of the Alliance. At the same time, they will have to strengthen other areas of Alliance policy to ensure the ability to respond to new types of threats that affect public support for NATO and political cohesion of the Alliance. It will be crucial to formulate the strategy in such a way that broadens the political dimensions of NATO and its functions but does not weaken the importance of collective defence and the allies’ determination to support it with necessary resources.
