WASHINGTON(June 23, 2025)-- NATO members are due to meet at The Hague, Netherlands beginning tomorrow to kick off the 2025 NATO Summit.
The Associated Press writes this year could be “a historic summit, or one marred by divisions.”
For more context on the matter, please consider Erwan Lagadec, an associate research professor of international affairs at the George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs. Lagadec is an expert on NATO and has taught classes on NATO’s strategic challenges and the Western responses to Vladimir Putin’s foreign policy. Lagadec’s research interests also include NATO projecting stability, sub-national transatlantic relations, and the politics of aid. Lagadec has looked closely at the idea of "Global NATO" and an "Alliance of democracies" as well as NATO's role in the Indo-Pacific.
Lagadec sat down with GW’s Media Relations team last summer to discuss the United States Role in NATO which can be viewed on vimeo.
