Changing Threat Perceptions and Military Doctrines

Owing to the revolutionary changes in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, the fundamental threat perceptions of the East and West have vanished during the past two years. The military doctrines of the alliances are either under transformation, as in the case of NATO, or cease to exist, giving place to independent military doctrines of the individual East and Central European countries, as in the case of the Warsaw Pact. The contributors to this volume report this social process and try to identify some of the new threat perceptions which inevitably are going to arise under the new circumstances which will be shaping their new military doctrines. This book should appeal to students and professionals in the fields of politics, international relations and strategy planning and studies. Other books by this author include "Decision-Making in the Common Market", "Social Nature of International Law" and "Western Perceptions on WTO Military Doctrine".
