The transatlantic allies must consider a new partnership differentiation that emphasizes societal resilience and technological utility in the growing competition with Russia and China, argues CSS' Henrik Larsen in this article for Internationale Politik Quarterly. Last year's NATO 2030 Reflection Group report sets the scene for how NATO’s next Strategic Concept should address the growing competition with China and Russia. It is high time to replace the previous Strategic Concept from 2010, which (wrongly) aimed at a “true strategic partnership” with Russia and which did not include a single mention of China.
