Interview transcripts with NATO and EU officials conducted in Brussels and The Hague from 2016 to 2019. The collection focuses on organizational responses to cybersecurity, energy security, and peacekeeping threats. The research project, led by Ivan Dinev Ivanov, aims to develop a framework explaining how international organizations adapt to emerging challenges.
