European countries are seeking new ways to make cooperation faster and more effective, as consensus decision-making and bureaucracy have slowed institutional responses. crisisgroup.org/global-usrussi…

As U.S. recalibrates its role & Russia presses Ukraine, a certain amount of improvisation seems destined to be part of Europe’s security architecture, both when it comes to the war in Ukraine & when it comes to other future challenges. crisisgroup.org/global-usrussi… @crisisgroup #NATO
