NATO’s new direction, outlined by November’s Strategic Concept, places a heavy emphasis on working with partners.
This partnership is important not just with non-Alliance countries; it’s also needed with other organisations, who offer other, complementary skills.
The new Concept states clearly: ‘The Alliance will engage actively to enhance international security, through partnership with relevant countries and other international organisations’.
This combining with other organisations and partners has become known as ‘the comprehensive approach’.
Few doubt its merits. ‘The comprehensive approach not only makes sense – it is necessary,’ said NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen last year.
The approach benefits areas from healthcare to governance. It can help in conflict and post-conflict environments.
But, though the idea is not new, most concede a fully functioning comprehensive approach still needs more work and attention.
In this video (right), NATO Review asks NATO Defence Ministers and the UN’s top envoy in Afghanistan about how, where and why the comprehensive approach can help.
