NATO is an intergovernmental military alliance centered on collective defense and shared military doctrine, currently serving as a primary security framework for its member states. While it continues to set defense spending guidelines and manage international air defense operations, the organization is increasingly the subject of debate regarding its relevance, internal cohesion, and the balance of contributions among its members.
