| NATO & the Global Enduring Disorder December 2022 | As we close the book on 2022, the NATO & the Global Enduring Disorder project is getting ready to 'order the disorder' in a big way in 2023. We won't spoil anything yet, but stay tuned - some exciting announcements are coming. While the pace of global affairs and the output of some commentators usually lulls in December, there is neither rest for our Global Enduring Disorder team nor has there been a shortage of events to analyse.
