NATO's New Eastern Flank: Deterrence and Doubt

In the aftermath of the Ukraine war, NATO faces its most profound redefinition since the Cold War. NATO''s New Eastern Flank explores how deterrence has been rebuilt along Europe''s frontlines—and the lingering uncertainty that comes with it. The book examines forward deployments, renewed defense commitments, and the political friction beneath the surface of Alliance unity. Through policy debates, military analysis, and the voices of borderland nations, it reveals a security architecture caught between reassurance and risk. A sober assessment of how deterrence operates in practice—and how doubt, both political and psychological, remains its constant companion.
