Great Decisions 2024: The Future of NATO

The war in Ukraine has entered its second year with no end in sight. Tensions in Europe have grown as support for Ukraine has wavered within some of NATO's members. In addition, one of the US presidential candidates has expressed skepticism about the continuing leadership role of the US in NATO. All of this has created some pressing questions for NATO:
- What next for NATO and Ukraine?
- What is NATO's role in the Great Power Competition and Deterring China?
- What are the future prospects for NATO enlargement and what are the possible models for European security post war in Ukraine?
- What would NATO look like without US leadership?
