Summary This conference focused on the ongoing campaign by NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen to make NATO more efficient and cooperative through 'Smart Defense.' The conference also addressed important underlying themes -- transition in Afghanistan, defense spending in an age of austerity, stalled progress in the NATO-Russia relationship, new partners for twenty-first century challenges, and the future of U.S. leadership within the alliance -- all of which illustrate how much has changed in the two years since the NATO summit in Lisbon, Portugal
