Dee M (2019) NATO meeting: solidarity reinforced despite uncomfortable time for alliance to be in the spotlight. The Conversation. 04.12.2019.

Abstract
First paragraph: Anniversaries are meant to be a celebration. They represent a moment of reflection – a marker, a milestone, a time to look back. And therein lies their biggest problem. For anniversaries have that unfortunate effect of turning any subject – be it a past event, a married couple, or indeed an international institution – into an object of intense scrutiny. For the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) celebrating its 70th anniversary in London on December 3-4, that scrutiny has come at an unfortunate time.
