Together with our other courses and many related activities, we have spent yet  another intensive academic year in fulfilling our Education, Research and  Outreach mission.<\/p>\n<p>\n  Over the last nine years this journal  has sought to support NDC&rsquo;s core mission and its vital role in supporting our  Allies and Partners in the promotion of transatlantic values. Uniquely, it has undertaken  this goal by encouraging a debate between scholars, policy makers and military journalists,  who have offered significant insights on crucial NATO-related topics for a wide  readership.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\n  This year represents a pivotal  year for NATO and our collective security. In this edition of <em>Vox Collegii<\/em> you will find four articles  focusing on the Alliance&rsquo;s 70th anniversary, together with others on the NDC&rsquo;s NMDX  simulation exercise, NATO enlargement and the Alliance&rsquo;s strategic intent in  the High North. There is also a tribute to our beloved colleague Vincenzo Di  Stefano, who sadly passed away in April.<\/p>\n<p>\n  Dr Elizabeth Buchanan&rsquo;s article  provides the first analysis of NATO&rsquo;s High North challenges and priorities. In detail,  the author provides an interesting perspective on how the return to the Greenland,  Iceland and United Kingdom (GIUK) gap would affect the Alliance, given recent  Russian assertiveness in the region. <\/p>\n<p>\n  The second article, by Dr Pierre  Dugue, addresses another area of strategic relevance for the Atlantic Alliance,  looking at alternative solutions to Georgia&rsquo;s NATO membership aspirations that  might avoid escalating tensions with Moscow over the Caucasus. <\/p>\n<p>\n  Moving on, Alexander Moens,  Alexandra Richards, Cornel Turdeanu and Harleen Atwal review the Negotiation,  Mediation, and Decision Making Exercise (NMDX) that was held at the NATO  Defense College this summer. In existence since 2017, this version of the NMDX  is a simulation exercise that allows graduate and senior undergraduate students  to experience the challenges of NATO decision-making and gain insight into the  frustrations and complexities of diplomatic negotiations. The students undergoing  this advanced training were prepared for the NMDX experience during a 13-week  accredited programme entitled The NATO Field School, run by Simon Fraser  University (SFU) in Vancouver, British Columbia.<\/p>\n<p>\n  Last but not least, the article by  NDC Research Division Director Dr Thierry Tardy is dedicated to NATO&rsquo;s 70th  anniversary. To mark the occasion, the NATO Defense College held an  international Conference with many high-level personalities in attendance, such  as former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO Deputy Secretary  General Mrs Rose Gottemoeller and Admiral James Foggo, Commander Allied Joint  Force Command. The event represented a unique opportunity for an open  discussion on NATO&rsquo;s past, present and future. In celebrating the Alliance&rsquo;s  70th birthday, the Conference was also vital in keeping the debate alive about the  Alliance&rsquo;s ambition to contribute to stability and peace by adapting itself to  the unstable international environment and to the post-21st century threats  that challenge NATO as a military organization. <\/p>\n<p>\n  I trust you will enjoy reading  this special edition of the <em>Vox Collegii<\/em> and find inspiration for creative strategic thinking on the key issues facing  the Alliance, while also continuing to support the NDC as a leading NATO centre  of education, outreach and research on transatlantic security issues.<\/p>\n<p>\n  In conclusion, thanks to all those  who have contributed so much to the continuing success of this magazine.<\/p>\n<p><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">\n<p><em>Francesca Buratti<br \/>\nPublic Affairs Office<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NDC Vox Collegii Magazine vol.
