Dear contributors,

Your interest made our first live video question-and-answer session on NATO’s core tasks a success. We also appreciate your participation in our online forum discussion of the political dimension of NATO operations.

Upcoming live video sessions will echo the themes of Strategic Concept seminars. The next seminar, to take place in Brdo, Slovenia on 13 November, is entitled “NATO’s Engagement in an Era of Globalisation.” Accordingly, our next live video question-and-answer session, scheduled for 12 November at 16:00 CET, will examine a number of related issues, including:

• incorporating the lessons of current operations into future strategy;

• dealing with evolving threats; and

• facilitating the success of the Comprehensive Approach.

Please submit your questions by leaving a reply below. We will make every effort to pose your questions to our panel participants. If time permits, we will also raise follow-up questions that we receive during the live video session. Do not hesitate to submit your questions well in advance of the event.

Before commenting, it may be useful to read our online Topic pages on the Comprehensive Approach,
