Carney's Challenge: Can Europe Take the Reins of NATO?
Ivo Daalder, former U.S. ambassador to NATO and Belfer Center fellow, and Barry Posen, MIT professor of international relations, discuss Carney’s warning about a ruptured international order. They debate whether Europe can build credible military and economic autonomy, how NATO might be Europeanized, and what political will and burden-sharing would actually require. Tense, timely, and forward-looking.
