Episode: How the role of NATO has changed | Mats Berdal & John Andreas Olsen #490
Description: In this episode, we dive into the complex and evolving role of NATO over the years. We explore NATO’s transformation over the past 75 years, from Bosnia to modern-day crisis management and hybrid warfare. Topics include NATO’s political and military balance, nuclear policy debates, and the alliance’s expansion with new members like Finland and Sweden. We also discuss NATO’s global priorities, its stance on emerging challenges like China. Finally, we consider NATO’s influence in the ongoing war in Ukraine, debating whether direct intervention could ever be on the table.
