Nodal Defence and Ukraine’s Nato Aspirations

Summary/Abstract: This article describes how Ukraine is applying for NATO membership at a time when the European security architecture is becoming more fragmented. Specifically, as much as NATO continues to provide a coherent, multilateral framework that organises European security relations, various bilateral and ‘minilateral’ security formats have proliferated across the continent, while different members of this alliance system have come to prioritise certain defence ties over others. Paradoxically, this fragmentation allows Ukraine to pursue additional avenues through which it can embed itself in the Euro-Atlantic security community.
