Windows of Opportunity | Latvia in NATO

  • November 21, 2025

Welcome back to the Ties that Bind. This week, we go back North to the shores of the Baltic Sea for a perspective from Latvia.

In this episode, we’ll hear from three Latvian experts on the evolution of the country’s defense posture, NATO cooperation, and its response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We’ll also hear about what’s happening on the domestic front, with the evolution of national and municipal civilian defense programs, Latvia’s infrastructure investments, and how the country’s public sector is thinking about resilience and building trust in a whole-of-society defense approach.
