Summary
This report presents the CSIS study team's key observations divided across five lines of inquiry: (1) regional perspectives on threats and vulnerabilities; (2) views on the U.S. and NATO roles in conventional deterrence in Eastern Europe; (3) regional approaches to internal defense and security; (4) the nuclear dimension on the eastern flank; and (5) future challenges to transatlantic cohesion.
