At the summit in Lisbon 19-20 November 2010, NATO adopted a new strategic concept. The adoption of this new strategic concept marks the beginning of a new era for the alliance. The new concept, and the debates leading up to it, reflects different positions and practices among member states both concerning what NATO’s key tasks should be and how relational structures inside and outside the alliance should be organised.
This project will examine the timely question of whether NATO is developing into a security organisation ”à la carte”, engaging in security tasks on a case-by-case basis and alternately serving the interests of different member states, constellations and external partners? And will address the implications of a NATO à la carte for Norway’s security and defence politics?
