Towards a Fundamental Rethink: Analysing the Institutionalisation of Energy in NATO across the DOTMLPFI Spectrum

The analysis is structured along the lines of DOTMLPFI (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities and Interoperability) framework which provides necessary analytical tools for identifying gaps within NATO’s approach to energy along its entire spectrum. The report consists of three parts. The first chapter briefly introduces the emergence of energy-related issues on NATO’s political agenda and highlights how they have changed over time. The second part provides a short overview of DOTMLPFI research framework and advantages of its application, while the final section scrutinises the institutionalisation of energy within NATO across the DOTMLPFI spectrum.
