✒️ On this day, 75 years ago, the North Atlantic Treaty was signed in Washington DC, creating the world's most successful alliance to date: NATO.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and its four partner countries in the Indo-Pacific—Australia, Japan, the Republic of Korea and New Zealand—have entered a period of increased engagement. This engagement is taking shape in the context of the war waged by Russia against Ukraine, NATO’s growing awareness of the security challenges posed by China, and important structural changes in the international system. We convened an Expert Study Group on NATO and Indo-Pacific Partners to increase understanding of Indo-Pacific partner perspectives on NATO as well as the dynamics of NATO and Indo-Pacific partner relations.

The NATO agenda is stated clearly during its 75th anniversary summit that it will go all out to ensure Western dominance globally. It has identified the “enemy countries” that are roadblocks to this goal. There is continuity in this perception but also a change in its strategy going forward that steps up escalation and expansion to construct a global grid-like alliance structure that integrates with the transatlantic alliance. https://lnkd.in/gbSceix2

🌍 How would NATO fare under a potential Trump 2024 term? Experts remain divided on the issue. Scholars at Carnegie share their thoughts: ⭐ Europe Program Director Dan Baer emphasizes the enduring value and resilience of NATO, despite potential challenges like weakened credibility. ⭐ Europe Program Senior Fellow Alper Coşkun remains confident in NATO’s endurance, underscoring NATO's critical role in Euro-Atlantic security amid evolving geopolitical landscapes. ⭐ American Statecraft Program Senior Fellow Stephen Wertheim is convinced that “something calling itself NATO will almost certainly exist at the end of a second Trump term.” But he also warns of significant shifts in U.S. engagement that could redefine NATO's leadership and strategic direction. As the U.S. navigates potential changes in transatlantic relations, understanding these diverse perspectives becomes increasingly crucial.

🔎 Uncharted Territory: Exploring the Legal Ramifications of NATO’s Hypothetical Involvement in Taiwan 📝 In this analysis, Brian Iselin looks at NATO's growing strategic importance in Asia and how it views the Taiwan crisis. 🌏 "You might just have been living under a rock to not have noticed that recently there has been a change in tone at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) on the question of its role in Asia more broadly, and Taiwan and China more specifically. Established primarily as a political and military alliance among North American and European countries as a counterweight to Russian delusions of grandeur, NATO is committed to mutual defence and collective security. Its potential involvement in Taiwan presents a complex legal scenario, particularly as the geopolitical landscape involving Taiwan is marked by its contested international status and the sovereignty claims of the People’s Republic of China (PRC)." 🔗 Learn more about the topic here: https://lnkd.in/dDfPPEGQ Niklas Swanstrom, Agust Börjesson, Yi-Chieh Chen, Kurt Benjamin M.
