Europe & NATO
European security, NATO posture, deterrence, and alliance dynamics.
Europe's security environment is changing faster than its institutions. Deterrence, defense production, alliance politics, and industrial capacity now matter more than declaratory strategy.
Fronts covers European and NATO security as a system: military posture, political constraints, defense economics, and the practical limits of what European states can field - and how quickly.
What we cover
- NATO deterrence and escalation dynamics
- European defense reform and procurement
- Eastern Europe security and hybrid influence
- Maritime and undersea competition in Europe
- The UK's role in European security
How we cover it
- Explainers for core concepts
- Briefings on recent developments
- Deep dives on programs, budgets, and constraints
