As tensions rise between NATO and Russia, with recent reports highlighting Russia’s nuclear weapons being moved closer to NATO member states, understanding the strategic implications has never been more critical.
Justin Logan, director of defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute is an authority on U.S. foreign policy and NATO relations. He is available to provide nuanced analysis on this pressing issue, including:
- The strategic motivations behind Russia’s nuclear posturing.
- NATO’s evolving role and challenges in responding to such threats.
- The broader implications for European and global security.
Justin has been prominently quoted and featured in discussions on NATO-related issues, such as:
- Analysis on NATO’s evolving role, during its 75th anniversary.
- Implications of U.S. foreign policy decisions for the alliance throughout the Russian, Ukraine War.
Additionally, he has authored two pieces for Foreign Affairs on NATO specifically:
- Don’t Let Ukraine Join NATO (The Costs of Expanding the Alliance Outweigh the Benefits)
- A Post-American Europe: (It’s Time for Washington to Europeanize NATO and Give Up Responsibility for the Continent’s Security)
Finally, Marc Trachtenberg, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Los Angeles authored a paper published on Cato.org: Is There Life After NATO?. (It is often claimed that Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty of 1949 requires the United States to defend “every inch” of NATO territory. The historical evidence, however, shows that this is not the case at all.)
