Abstract

NATO’s Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has failed to reach its full potential and remains a 'hollow concept'. While WPS has provided added-value across NATO’s tasks, it falls short of being an integral part of how NATO conducts its work and is in many respects siloed. The WPS agenda is associated with the values of NATO but in the case of the Russian war on Ukraine that agenda has been sidelined in favour of realpolitik. For WPS to endure, it must be seen as fundamental to NATO’s effectiveness, not as an exceptional measure: an imperative that is likely to be challenged under the second mandate of Donald Trump as US president.
