Military Alliances and the Challenges to the Use of Military Force

The use of force in the framework of military alliances in the 21st century faces a range of challenges – some old, some new – with regards to their strategies, doctrines, interoperability, military adaptation and innovation as well as domestic political challenges. Furthermore, as military alliances venture into new security challenges such as climate change and the rise of China, these policy areas require a close examination, not least in the context of the use of military force.

The European Initiative for Security Studies (EISS), the NATO Defence College (NDC), and the Centre for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy at the Brussels School of Governance (CSDS) organised a Joint Policy Workshop on 9 November 2022 that focused on “Military Alliances and the Challenges to the Use of Military Force”. The Joint Policy Workshop brought together academic experts and policymakers to foster a dialogue on critical issues in transatlantic security, with a focus on challenges that are confronting military alliances and the use of military force in the 21st century.
