NATO’s 2030 reflection process and the new Strategic Concept
Implications for the security in Northern Europe. Webinar 31 January 2022
The seminar concluded the IFS research and dialogue programme, Security in Northern Europe (SNE), supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Defence. The programme was premised on the idea that the United Stated, the United Kingdom, Germany and Norway have a stake and share an interest in Northern European security.

Throughout the programme period, the partner institutions CSIS, RUSI, DGAP and IFS scrutinised the precarious security dilemmas facing the transatlantic community in general and Northern Europe in particular. Shared concerns were analysed through national prisms, and the totality of views always captured more than the sum of the parts.
In this final seminar we looked at the ongoing reflection and strategy processes in NATO and discussed what challenges lie ahead for NATO and allied countries by asking the following questions:
- What should NATOs new strategic concept look like?
- What should the scope of the concept be?
- Should it be tailored to the complexity of a rapidly evolving global security environment or remain focused on the existing core tasks?
- How solid is the internal consensus on a strategic reconfiguration?
