Projecting Stability
PROJECTING STABILITY IS A SET OF PROACTIVE ACTIVITIES, COHERENTLY ARTICULATED AND COMPREHENSIVELY DEVELOPED, WHICH INFLUENCE AND SHAPE THE STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENT IN ORDER TO MAKE IT MORE SECURE AND LESS THREATENING.
“If our neighbours are more stable, we are more secure.… We are ready to do more to help our partners provide for their own security, defend against terrorism, and build resilience against attack.”
-Warsaw Declaration on Transatlantic Security, July 2016
“Based on a broad and strengthened deterrence and defence posture, the Alliance seeks to contribute to projecting stability and strengthening security outside its territory, there by contributing to Alliance security overall. We will continue to strengthen NATO’S ROLE IN THIS REGARD, HELPING PARTNERS, UPON REQUEST, to build stronger defence institutions, improve good governance, enhance their resilience, provide for their own security,and more effectively contribute to the fight against terrorism.”
-Brussels Summit Declaration – Paragraph 50
By a very short definition, projecting stability is a set of activities to influence and shape the strategic environment which aims a more secure and less threatening environment. A holistic analogy will be; “if any part of the body is suffering, it will affect the whole body” In a fast-changing world, cooperative security remains one of NATO’s three essential core tasks. Reaching out to a wide range of countries and organisations is part of Allied identity. NATO partnerships are beneficial to all involved and contribute to improved security for the broader international community. Cooperative security does not mean only engagement with partners, equally means engagement and interaction with a wide range of actors, leveraging opportunities for synergies through cooperation. In this spirit, NATO increasingly cooperates with International Organisations such as the European Union, the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the African Union.
NATO seek to contribute to the efforts of the international community in projecting stability and strengthening security outside NATO Territory. At Warsaw Summit, Allied leaders signed up to an agenda for action – known as Projecting Stability – that sets out measures to help the Alliance prepare for, deal with and overcome instability in its neighbourhood, including with its partners. It is seen as a holistic approach with a spectrum of engagement, running from partnerships with key states, including capacity building, to crisis management measures relying on military capabilities. Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg explained that NATO is entering a third phase of its history: after the first phase of collective defence (1949–1991), and the second phase of ‘projecting stability’ through crisis management and partnerships (1991–2014), NATO is in a third phase in which it: “must do both collective defence and manage crisis and promote stability beyond our borders” and does not “have the luxury of choosing one or the other.”
Over more than 25 years, the Alliance has developed a network of partnerships with non-member countries from the Euro-Atlantic area, the Mediterranean and the Gulf region, and other partners across the globe. NATO pursues dialogue and practical cooperation with these nations on a wide range of political and security-related issues. NATO’s partnerships are beneficial to all involved and contribute to improved security for the broader international community.
For Nations, each NATO Partner determines – with NATO - the pace, scope, intensity and focus of their partnership with the Alliance. This level of ambition is then achieved through the elaboration of specific political and military objectives for cooperation with NATO. Both in the political and military sphere, NATO partnerships are key to fostering understanding, reform, interoperability, with concrete cooperation programs having a positive impact on the ground.
NATO Partners contribute to NATO-led peace-support operations, participate in NATO exercises and are involved in NATO decision-making processes through their association to the work of NATO committees.
To project stability, NATO is taking these strands of cooperation to a higher level. Indeed, NATO partnerships evolve to keep pace with Allied and Partners’ needs, adapting to new challenges and a changing world. Through its adaptation, NATO is once again proving that it is able and willing to adapt to the complex security environment. Robust partnerships are an essential part of NATO’s projecting stability approach.

This is a fairly busy slide but it serves as a useful introduction to the frameworks:
In fact, JFC Naples is the lead HQ, at the operational level, for 5 countries from the Partnership for Peace (PfP) framework, 7 countries from the Mediterranean Dialogue framework and 4 countries from the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative. We are also involved in cooperation with Iraq as a partner across the globe (PATG) and lead the practical NATO Support to the African Union (AU) with a liaison staff element in Ethiopia.
The word framework suggests a commonality in approach to all Partners within a given framework, although in recent times we are seeing a trend towards development of initiatives that run across the framework boundaries, for example Defence Capacity Building. For us at the operational level this gives a bit more freedom of manoeuvre in our planning and activities.

In addition to our NATO operations and missions, JFCNP also has responsibility for military partnerships. In an ever more resource-constrained environment, both the Joint Force Commands (JFCs) and the Single Service Commands (SSCs) have increased their roles. In fact, JFC Naples is the lead HQ, at the operational level, for 5 countries from the Partnership for Peace (PfP) framework, 7 countries from the Mediterranean Dialogue framework and 4 countries from the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative. We are also involved in cooperation with Iraq as a partner across the globe (PATG) and lead the practical NATO Support to the African Union (AU) with a liaison staff element in Ethiopia. Our main tasks include:
