Joelle Fiss of Human Rights First writes in the EU Observer that NATO’s new Strategic Concept offers the European Union the opportunity for better coordination.
“Tellingly, Nato’s strategic concept stretches out globally to incorporate new geo-political realities for its future, opening the door to political consultations with powers such as China, India and Russia,” she writes. “One wonders how technical co-operation to align EU mechanisms to Nato missions could prove to be a more rocky enterprise than embarking on political dialogue on defence matters between Nato and China.”
