</div> </header> <div class="wrapper wysiwyg margin-vertical"> <p><p>The last five years have transformed geopolitics, with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic, the convergence of an “axis of upheaval” (the increasing cooperation between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea), and advancing technologies bringing profound changes to the global order. In a world of rapid change, it is more important than ever that the United States addresses the most pressing challenges in coordination with its European allies and partners. This cooperation acts as a force multiplier, amplifying U.S. influence and leadership in the world.</p> <p>To that end, the Transatlantic Security Program analyzes strategic challenges to the United States and Europe—especially the actions of the axis of upheaval—and formulates innovative recommendations for strengthening cohesion between the United States and Europe in addressing them. We accomplish this by looking beyond the daily headlines and focusing on deeper trends likely to shape events over the horizon.</p></p> </div> <p class="center"><a href="https://www.cnas.org/support-cnas" class="button -solid">Support CNAS</a></p> <section class="featured-block margin-vertical-2x"> <h2 class="featured-block__title">Highlights</h2> <ul class="featured-listing"> <li> <div class="labeled-image"> <a href="https://www.cnas.org/publications/commentary/the-axis-of-upheaval" aria-label="The Axis of Upheaval - image link"> <img src="https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/files.cnas.org/hero/_600x360_crop_center-center_none/Axis-of-Upheavel.png" width="285" height="190" class="desaturate" alt=""> </a> <span class="label">Commentary</span> </div> <a href="https://www.cnas.org/publications/commentary/the-axis-of-upheaval" class="sans-serif fz14 bold margin-top-half-em">The Axis of Upheaval</a> <p class="fz13 sans-serif margin-vertical-half-em"> The West has been too quick to dismiss the coordination among China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia.... </p> <p class="fz15 margin-top-half-em"> <span class="screenreader-only">By</span> Andrea Kendall-Taylor & Richard Fontaine </p> </li> <li> <div class="labeled-image"> <a href="https://www.cnas.org/publications/video/nato-public-forum-the-axis-of-upheaval" aria-label="NATO Public Forum: The Axis of Upheaval - image link"> <img src="https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/files.cnas.org/title/_600x360_crop_center-center_none/maxresdefault-3.jpg" width="285" height="190" class="desaturate" alt=""> </a> <span class="label">Video</span> </div> <a href="https://www.cnas.org/publications/video/nato-public-forum-the-axis-of-upheaval" class="sans-serif fz14 bold margin-top-half-em">NATO Public Forum: The Axis of Upheaval</a> <p class="fz13 sans-serif margin-vertical-half-em"> During the NATO Public Forum, CNAS hosted a panel discussion that featured David Shullman, senior director of Global China Hub for the Atlantic Council, Benedetta Berti, head ... </p> <p class="fz15 margin-top-half-em"> <span class="screenreader-only">By</span> David Shullman </p> </li> <li> <div class="labeled-image"> <a href="https://www.cnas.org/publications/podcast/richard-fontaine-and-hal-brands-discuss-the-axis-of-upheaval" aria-label="Richard Fontaine and Hal Brands Discuss the Axis of Upheaval - image link"> <img src="https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/files.cnas.org/title/_600x360_crop_center-center_none/BrusselsSprouts_Header.png" width="285" height="190" class="desaturate" alt=""> </a> <span class="label">Podcast</span> </div> <a href="https://www.cnas.org/publications/podcast/richard-fontaine-and-hal-brands-discuss-the-axis-of-upheaval" class="sans-serif fz14 bold margin-top-half-em">Richard Fontaine and Hal Brands Discuss the Axis of Upheaval</a> <p class="fz13 sans-serif margin-vertical-half-em"> The effects of Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine are reverberating far beyond Ukraine’s borders.
