Description
This timely volume assesses NATO's current accomplishments, continuing challenges, and potential pitfalls. Leading international scholars and policymakers explore three key themes influencing NATO's future: transatlantic relations, the debate over enlargement, and the organization's new functions. Weighing the fate of an alliance poised for renewal or decline, the contributors offer informed analysis and discussion of an organization that has changed profoundly over the past five years and continues to evolve in the face of an uncertain global environment.

Pierre, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace This collection of articles is a distinguished contribution to the debate -- Rodric Braithwaite, British ambassador to Moscow, 1988-1992 This volume provides cutting-edge thinking on the transformations that are molding NATO's future and that will determine the nature of European security in the early 21st century. -- Hans Binnendijk, director of the Institute for National Strategic Studies A fine collection of articles that provides a complete picture of the difficult issues and choices NATO faces today. -- Stanley HoffmannMore details
