Join the Foreign Policy Research Institute for a discussion on how NATO affects great power rivalry and how the United States and its allies can better manage Russia.

NATO’s original purpose was to protect Western Europe against Soviet expansionism. Its challenge today is to manage relations between a “Europe whole and free” and a resurgent Russia, encouraging stability without provoking tension. Join FPRI’s Robert D. Kaplan and General Philip Breedlove to discuss how NATO affects great power rivalry and how the United States and its allies can better manage Russia.
 
This event is part of the Robert Strausz-Hupé Project: The Atlantic System in a World of Great Power Rivalry. Audio from this event will also be used in FPRI's upcoming Global Demons Podcast, where host Robert D. Kaplan will speak to the best experts you’ve never heard of on the most important issues facing the United States today.

Robert D. Kaplan, Robert Strausz-Hupé Chair Geopolitics at the Foreign Policy Research Institute
