| Summary |
The transatlantic security alliance rests on three pillars: common interests and values; political cohesion; and a sharing of the burden for collective defense. The stresses in U.S.-European relations are creating fissures in the architecture of our shared security and raising doubts about the stability of long-established structures of transatlantic cooperation. In these circumstances it is vital to renew our understanding of our alliance and examine the integrity of its supports. Transatlantic burden sharing is a crucial element that deserves scrutiny. The NATO spending question has created tensions on both sides of the Atlantic. Although the transatlantic security community actively debates the merits of the 2 percent measure, it has not identified an alternative measure or set of measures to adopt instead. This report seeks to catalyze that political and analytical discussion of alternatives by widening the aperture for assessing and comparing the security contributions of NATO allies and key European partners |
