This article appeared in Strategic Insights, v.10, issue 3 (Winter 2011), 1-8. Topic: North Atlantic Treaty Organization ; In May 2011, American and European experts on NATO deterrence issues met in Tallinn, Estonia, to consider and help inform the review of NATO,s deterrence strategy as mandated by NATO leaders in the November 2010 Lisbon Summit Declaration. As a keynote speaker at this conference, I discussed the broader political context that will influence the production and implementation of any revised NATO deterrence strategy, specifically, whether or not recent developments in the United States and Europe raised fundamental questions about how well today' s alliance serves US and European interests. The big question, I suggested, is whether or not a review of NATO deterrence strategy amounts to strategic fiddling while Rome burns.
