The publication "Deterrence Through Adaptation: The Case Study of Latvia" offers a collection of articles that reflect on topical security issues of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Authors from Latvia discuss transforming regional security policies, indicating risks and opportunities for the deterrence posture of the Alliance from the perspective of several dimensions. The authors also provide realities and recommendations towards the #NATO2030 adaptation process. Particular attention is devoted to the transatlantic collective defence, nuclear policy, cyberspace, strategic communication, space, resilience, and the role of other emerging elements and actors. Issues beyond traditional national security challenges are also addressed.
