Wei Zongyou & Tang Jie“NATO's Indo-Pacific Shift: Strategic Logic and Prospects”，China International Studies，No.6，2024，pp.117-141

Abstract：NATO's ongoing Indo-Pacific shift takes place amid the China-US strategic competition and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with a fundamentally distinctive strategic logic. Based on “integrated deterrence,” the current foray into the IndoPacific stresses great-power competition as well as the indivisibility of European and Asian security, and serves to achieve dual deterrence on China and Russia, aligning closely with the US Indo-Pacific strategy. Despite progress in recent years, the shift is constrained by NATO's core strategic priorities, military capabilities, and internal disputes, rendering its prospects somewhat uncertain.
