Abstract:

The NATO Alliance must update the substance of its Strategic Concept by 2020 but make revisions within the framework of three essential core tasks Collective Defense, Crisis Management, and Cooperative Security. This will allow NATO to maintain the delicate balance of competing threat perceptions among its members, while refreshing its content to maintain credibility and relevance with the international community, political leaders, and allied publics.
