NATO and the Indo-Pacific Four: Strategic Convergence or Pragmatic Alignment at the 2025 Hague Summit?
-The IP4 invitation is not simply a reflection of shared values—it is a strategic experiment in institutional adaptation, signaling the Alliance’s willingness to rethink its identity and role in response to evolving threats and complex geopolitical dynamics.
-The invitation to the 2025 Summit is therefore less an indication of full-spectrum ideological alignment and more an expression of converging anxieties—especially regarding cyber vulnerabilities, maritime disruptions, and authoritarian influence operations.
-The 2025 NATO Summit is less a conclusion and more a beginning of the next phase in the Alliance’s adaptation to a changing global security landscape.
