SUMMARY:Envisioning the Future of NATO after the Russia-Ukraine War
DESCRIPTION:Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022\, NATO has been steadily focused on the immediacy of the situation\, as members are working steadily to boost their own military spending and increase their production to support Ukraine’s defense. Though for years NATO has worked on concepts around strategic visions for the future\, most recently in its NATO 2030 initiative\, the reality of the course of the Russia-Ukraine War may dictate very different paths for NATO’s future. As the war may end in unpredictable fashion\, join ASP as we discuss what a future NATO may look like. \nRegister Now \nSpeakers: \nLieutenant General Daniel Christman\, USA (Ret.)\, ASP Board Member \nLieutenant General Daniel Christman retired after a distinguished 36 year Army career\, culminating in a final assignment as Superintendent of the US Military Academy at West Point. Christman later served as Senior Vice President for International Affairs at the US Chamber of Commerce. He has also served as President and Executive Director of the Kimsey Foundation. During his tenure with the U.S. Army he was the assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and represented the United States as a member of NATO’s Military Committee in Brussels\, Belgium. \n \nRose Gottemoeller\, Steven C. Házy Lecturer\, Freeman Spogli Institute\, Stanford University \nRose Gottemoeller is a Lecturer at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and Research Fellow at the Hoover Institute.

While Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control\, Verification and Compliance in 2009 and 2010\, she was the chief U.S. negotiator of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) with the Russian Federation. \nAmbassador Douglas Lute\, Lieutenant General\, USA (Ret.)\, Consensus for American Security \nLTG Douglas Lute\, USA (Ret.) is the former United States Ambassador to NATO. Appointed by President Obama\, he assumed the Brussels-based post in 2013 and served until 2017.
