As summer unfolds across much of Europe and the US, war continues to devastate Ukraine and fuel instability across the Middle East. Former NATO Deputy Secretary General Rose Gottemoeller joins ELN Senior Associate Fellow Ilana Bet-El to unpack the narratives behind Russia’s war against Ukraine, the legacy of the Cold War, and the strategic misunderstandings that shaped today’s security landscape.

The unforeseen consequences of the NATO Ankara summit

Despite the success of the Ankara summit, the US is gradually decoupling itself from Europe in ways that will have profound consequences for European security and strategic stability.

The death of the ‘global cop’: why NATO’s Ankara summit is burying out-of-area operations

What are the consequences stemming from the seeming end of NATO’s global role? ELN Senior Associate Fellow Nicholas Williams looks back at two decades of NATO’s “out-of-area operations”, arguing that foreign crisis management missions have become strategic liabilities rather than assets, exposing European troops to global conflicts while doing little to enhance European security.

The Women Leaders podcast: Lebanon’s pivotal place in the Middle East 

Following the signing of the 14-point peace plan in Versailles, it would appear that the war in the Middle East is over, at least according to President Trump. However, the absence of both Israel and Lebanon from the agreement would suggest otherwise.
