NDC Research Papers deal with NATO-related issues from a multiplicity of angles that can be historical, political, operational or prospective; they can have an obvious research or more policy angle; they are analytical in nature and must be relevant to the understanding of NATO’s challenges and policy-making.
They can be single-authored or co-authored.
The NDC releases 6-8 Research Papers every year.
