In its Strategic Concept adopted at the Lisbon summit, NATO defines the establishment of a missile defense system to defend populations and territories against ballistic missile attack as a core element of its collective defense. The main goal is to secure a damage-limitation option for Europe. In order to prevent the missile defense system from jeopardizing relations with Russia or obstructing further disarmament steps, NATO has invited Moscow to participate. The project offers a great deal of opportunities for the alliance. However, important questions remain to be resolved.
