As tensions grow in Eastern Europe, the role of NATO is crucial
for our understanding of the reaction of the West to Russia’s
troop build-up at the Ukrainian borders. NATO has
undergone significant changes since it was founded more than 70
years ago when twelve countries came together to, as a British
diplomat famously put it, “keep the Americans in, the Russians
out, and the Germans down.” Today, the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization has almost thirty members and its missions have
changed significantly. In this episode of the HCA podcast, Anja
Schüler and Seth Johnston take a look at these changes in NATO’s
organization and strategy. Seth Johnston is assistant professor
in the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.
As a scholar-practitioner, he also has served in the Pentagon and
the State Department as well as in many multinational overseas
missions.
