For more than seventy-five years, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has served as the cornerstone of European security. Yet a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, rising multipolar competition, shifting U.S. foreign policy priorities, and growing calls for European strategic independence have reignited one of the most important debates of the twenty-first century: Should Europe continue to depend on NATO-or begin charting its own strategic course?
Rather than advocating simplistic solutions, this book presents both sides of one of today's most consequential geopolitical debates. Inside, readers will discover:
- Why calls for European strategic autonomy have accelerated in recent years
- The competing arguments for maintaining or reforming NATO
- How changing relations with Russia, China, and the United States are reshaping European security
- The strategic implications of energy security, sanctions, and economic interdependence
- Lessons from the Nord Stream crisis, the 2026 Iran War, and broader alliance politics
- How Canada, the European Union, and emerging multipolar institutions may influence future security arrangements
- Practical policy considerations for balancing collective defense with national sovereignty Written for students, policymakers, military professionals, diplomats, researchers, and anyone interested in international affairs, Rethinking NATO provides a balanced and thought-provoking examination of one of the defining strategic questions facing Europe today. As global power shifts and new security challenges emerge, Europe stands at a historic crossroads. The future of NATO-and of European security itself-may depend on the choices made today. Paul F. Davis is an international author, university professor, humanitarian, and interdisciplinary public policy researcher whose work spans international relations, global health, law, leadership, diplomacy, and strategic studies. He has authored numerous books examining geopolitical conflict, diplomacy, international security, public policy, healthcare, food security, and global governance. Drawing upon academic research and practical experience across multiple countries, Davis explores how government policy, institutional decision-making, and leadership influence global stability, economic development, and human well-being. He holds multiple graduate degrees in education, law, and health-related fields and has served in international educational and humanitarian roles throughout his career. His research combines evidence-based scholarship with interdisciplinary analysis to address some of today's most pressing geopolitical and public policy challenges. PaulFDavis.com
