Partnerships require leadership

Even though most NATO-countries are underlining the importance of partners in handling today’s security challenges, no one assumes the necessary leadership to strengthen NATO’s partnership-agenda. This is the message from CMS’ Laura Hollænder Schousboe in her analysis, published in Ræson,  that unravels the major challenges and limited options for NATO’s partnership-policy in an era where a lack of political leadership makes it hard for NATO to transform its slogans into action.
