(Part 1 & 2) In this part of looking at how NATO needs to adapt to the 21st century, we look at how it can better connect with the public, and how this will affect perceptions of the organisation and its operations. We also look at the different worlds in which the last Strategic Concept was drawn up in 1999 and today's. And we get insight from the new SACEUR, new US Ambassador NATO and others into how they see the new Strategic Concept evolving.
