Facts & Findings No. 224

| Summary |
Key Points. By moving from reassurance to deterrence, Warsaw concludes NATO’s adaptation to the New Normal on its Eastern Flank. The Enhanced Forward Presence (EFP) ends the military bifurcation between "old" and "new" members – while still complying with the NATO Russia Founding Act.While the EFP overcomes many of the weaknesses of the Wales decisions – particularly with regard to stationing – its actual implementation is still in an early stage and many questions remain.To achieve consensus, NATO had to adopt a dual approach of both deterrence and dialogue towards Russia. While this double strategy reconciled the opposing camps, it also means that ambitions for this dialogue vary widely across allies.While a strategy for the East is now in place, NATO still lacks a coherent approach to its Southern flank. A strong need to act is felt across the Alliance, but NATO’s exact role remains highly disputed even in its "Southern" camp. The summit emphasized Defense Capacity Building as NATO’s contribution, but it can hardly be considered a silver bullet.In the long term, NATO’s efforts will remain meaningless without a significant improvement of its military capabilities – which will require sustaining the recent positive trends in defense spending. The Summit also heralded a new initiative on NATO-EU cooperation. While it is the first to be accompanied by a concrete tasker to both bureaucracies, it remains to be seen whether greater progress is achievable this time.Ultimately, the impending elections in the U.S., but also in other countries, turned the Summit into some kind of a holding summit. Further decisions on the Alliance’s future will have to wait for the next Summit at NATO’s new headquarters in Brussels in 2017 |
