This paper contends that NATO’s Framework Nations Concept (FNC) currently serves as a practical guideline for defense cooperation within the Alliance. But what does the FNC, with its emphasis on national sovereignty, actually mean for defense cooperation? To help provide an answer, the text’s authors review 1) the three different FNC approaches that exist within NATO; 2) the opportunities and limits of the FNC approach; and 3) how the FNC’s approach to cooperation might be especially attractive to states that are not NATO members.
