Global militær integrasjon i Indo-Stillehavet
13 marineskip og 84 militærfly og helikoptre fra Europa deltok på øvelser og i operasjoner i Indo-Stillehavet i 2024. Hvorfor var en så stor militær styrke fra Frankrike, Italia, Nederland, Spania, Storbritannia og Tyskland på den andre siden av kloden i fjor? Hvorfor skal det norske Sjøforsvaret og Luftforsvaret delta på øvelser i Indo-Stillehavet i år? Dette diskuterer NUPI-analytiker Per Erik Solli i denne fagartikkelen. Forfatteren har også skrevet en research paper for NUPI med samme tematikk.

Europe’s New Role in U.S. Strategy
The future of U.S.-European relations is emerging as one of the most significant factors that will shape the global system. NATO’s celebration of its 75th anniversary at the bloc’s summit in Washington next week will be overshadowed not only by Russia’s war on Ukraine but by uncertainty over the future of the alliance itself—not least because of the possibility that NATO-bashing former U.S. President Donald Trump could return to power next year. The U.S.-European relationship will have several practical benefits for Washington’s rivalry with Beijing. In this op-ed, Jon Inge Bekkevold considers Europe's new role in U.S. strategy, the transatlantic relationship and U.S.-Chinese rivalry.
The Cost of Ignoring Geopolitics
Like Napoleon and the Ming dynasty, Europe is paying the price for strategic blindness. Europe finds itself in the greatest peril since the 1940s. As Russia’s brutal war in Ukraine enters its fourth year, the Trump administration’s policy shifts mean that Europe suddenly faces the possibility of war with Russia without the United States’ full backing. Washington is now negotiating a possible peace directly with Moscow and Kyiv, without the participation of other Europeans. It also seems willing to reach a deal largely on Russia’s terms. In this article, Jo Inge Bekkevold examines current geopolitical developments in Europe through a historical lens, highlighting both parallels and key differences with the past.
