About NATO Review
NATO Review is a free online magazine offering expert opinion, analysis and debate on a broad range of security issues. It looks at different aspects of NATO’s role in today’s fast-changing and unpredictable security environment. It also covers wider challenges, such as cyberattacks, hybrid warfare, the impact of social media, the security implications of climate change and scarcity of resources, and the need to strengthen the role of women in peace and security. Most important is that what is published in NATO Review does not necessarily represent the official position or policy of member governments, or of NATO. The magazine has existed for over 60 years and still holds to the task given to it all those years ago - which is to 'contribute to a constructive discussion of Euro-Atlantic security issues’.
