Response To Hybrid Attacks: Is NATO’s Collective Response A Solution? Perspectives On The Way To The Warsaw Summit
The last NATO Summit in Wales was characterized by a complex and sensitive international political climate due to the Ukraine Crisis. The threats posed by the Russian Federation are still dangerous and unsolved. The Alliance’s uncertainty in responding to hybrid attacks makes the international security of Member and Partner countries unstable. This entails a rethinking process on art. 5 for collective defense in accordance with the 2010 Strategic Concept. NATO representatives, experts, private sector stakeholders and researchers will highlight the potential added value of NATO as a platform and facilitator in responding to the challenges of the XXI century.
