Why does the United States need European allies, and why is it getting more difficult for those allies to partner with Washington? This book addresses the economic, demographic, political, and military trends that are fundamentally upending the ability and willingness of European allies to work with Washington.

Is NATO prepared to return to collective defense in the face of Russia's annexation of Crimea, invasion of Ukraine, and aggressive posturing across northeastern Europe? Arguing that NATO faces critical hurdles in re-embracing collective defense, this text offers practical solutions aimed at adjusting alliance strategy, resourcing, and readiness.

The maintenance and management of the NATO alliance is a balancing act between responding to security threats and navigating bargaining positions of the member states. This book highlights how the alliance managed to maintain that balance in an area critical to its operations around the world - changing its Cold War-era doctrine and structures.
