This year's NATO summit in The Hague is set against heightened geopolitical turbulence – from the ongoing war in Ukraine to the rapidly escalating crisis in the Middle East. NATO leaders have agreed to commit 5 percent of GDP annually on defense and security-related spending by 2035. But how will NATO members handle their internal divisions over increasing budgetary demands? Is the U.S. shifting its role within the alliance? And how consistent is NATO's approach to regional conflicts unfolding globally? Guests in this edition of Dialogue are Wang Yiwei, Jean Monnet chair professor of Renmin University of China; Victor Gao Zhikai, chair professor at Soochow University; Warwick Powell, senior fellow at Taihe Institute; and Prof. Glenn Diesen from University of South-Eastern Norway.
