Multilateral cooperation = making decisions together
Multilateral cooperation in NATO is based on the principles of equality, shared decision-making, shared responsibility and the pursuit of common goals, implemented in the interests of all 31 member states. To gain more insight into the processes of adaptation and decision-making, we asked experts.
This part of the module is about dialogue and consultation. NATO promotes open dialogue between its member states. What does multilateral cooperation look like? And what does that mean? Experts provide answers in the video blog.
(here the videos on the topic should be inserted)
Questions to the KAS experts
1. What are the challenges of multilateral cooperation within NATO?
2. How long does it take to reach a decision in the "consensus" of everyone? (+ e.g. for a situation where multilateral cooperation has been particularly successful.)
3. How can NATO make decision-making more efficient? (With a view to enlargement and the admission of new members.)
4. Can any nation become a member of NATO? (What are the criteria and considerations?) Is the recording limited in order to be able to work (well) together?
