Ahead of the NATO Summit: Burden Sharing to Responsibility Sharing

Ahead of the 2023 Vilnius Summit, a new CSIS report, Burden Sharing to Responsibility Sharing, by Dr. Kathleen McInnis and Daniel Fata, lays out a framework for recalibrating the NATO political-strategic conversation on burden sharing – arguing for NATO member states to move to a 4% defense and security investment target – spending a 2% minimum on defense, and the balance on security.

Please join the CSIS International Security Program on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, from 1:00 – 2:00 pm EDT, for an engaging discussion on NATO’s historic burden sharing debate, including how NATO might recast its thinking about – and accounting for - how allies are sharing security and strategic responsibilities going forward.

The panel will feature co-author Daniel Fata, CSIS Senior Advisor (Non-resident) and former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Europe and NATO Policy, Max Bergmann, CSIS Director of the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program and Stuart Center, E.J. Herold, Member of The SPECTRUM Group and Former NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Defense Investment, and will be moderated by Donatienne Ruy, CSIS Director of Executive Education and Abshire-Inamori Leadership Academy, and CSIS Fellow, Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program.

This event is made possible through support from the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Defence.
