The 2014 Wales Summit must provide the necessary political guidance to enable the Alliance to properly prepare for a challenging future.  In addition, with the rise of Russia as a more aggressive competitor and possible adversary on the Alliance\u2019s eastern borders, the West must also develop a new strategic narrative that embraces four questions to be addressed at the Summit:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"nobullet\">\n<li> 1) Can NATO provide credible collective defence to its members?\n<\/li>\n<li>\n 2) What type of reassurance can NATO provide?\n<\/li>\n<li>\n 3) What support can NATO offer to states on Russia\u2019s margins?<\/li>\n<li>\n 4) What relationship should now be sought with Russia, and what measures make for effective pressure upon it?\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"just\"> The Alliance must create a new strategic communication plan and narrative that answers these and many additional questions in order to ensure continued political viability and public support for its missions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">\n<p>Dr Jeffrey Larsen, Division Head Research<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><span class='np'><a href='\/fr\/research\/publications.php\/?icode=6' target='_blank'>More Research Division Publications&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>NDC Public Affairs Office<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Report: &quot;NATO&#8217;s Post-2014 Strategic Narrative&quot; Research Report: &quot;NATO&#8217;s Post-2014 Strategic Narrative&quot;, by Julian Lindley-French.
