The Women Leaders podcast: Security, cooperation, and conflict with Rose Gottemoeller

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. As ELN Senior Associate Fellow Nicholas Williams writes, NATO will not collapse in a single dramatic moment; it is slowly changing into something less able to perform its central task.

‘Europeanising’ NATO: what it means in practice

With the United States reducing its strategic role in Europe, NATO is entering a new era of European leadership. ELN Executive Director Robert Ondrejcsák argues that Europe’s priority should be strengthening alliance capabilities rather than creating parallel structures, while examining how rising defence spending, shifting military power within the continent, and new security partnerships will shape NATO’s long-term “Europeanisation”.

A more European NATO, but who leads?

NATO’s ongoing adaptation process and unilateral US decisions have created the foundations for a larger European role in transatlantic security, writes ELN Programme Lead Alexander Graef. Whether Europeans can sustain that role politically remains uncertain. The value of the alliance’s upcoming summit may therefore ultimately lie in whether it helps Europeans begin addressing the political implications of a military transformation that is already underway.

The challenges facing NATO and how to meet them

Ahead of the July NATO Summit in Ankara, Ahmet Üzümcü, former Permanent Representative of Turkey to NATO, reflects on the alliance’s transformation from 16 to 32 members and the challenges shaping its future. From burden-sharing and European defence to nuclear deterrence, Ukraine, China, and transatlantic tensions, he argues that NATO’s continued success will depend on unity, credible deterrence, and meaningful political consultation among allies.
