The Promise of Euro-Atlantic Missile Defense

A joint Euro-Atlantic missile defense would demonstrate NATO’s collective will not only to defend against new threats, but also to send a clear message that nothing can be gained from missile proliferation. It can also provide an opportunity for Europeans to demonstrate their willingness to invest in self-defense capabilities.
