Product Description

Review

"Outstanding Academic Book...Brilliantly written, insightful, and cautionary tale of a major dilemma for the post-Cold War NATO." -- CHOICE, October 1999

"Vital handbook... A tribute to the achievements of this remarkable alliance as well as a cautionary signal about its future." -- Times Literary Supplement

An essential reference to understanding a rather complex organization which has limited historical memory. -- Parameters, Spring 2000

Book Description

The North Atlantic Treaty Organizaion, perhaps more than any other Cold War institution, embodied the West's determination to deter potential Soviet aggression in Europe. But nearly a decade after the collapse of the Soviet empire, the Atlantic Alliance is engaged in cooperative security endeavors with former adversaries throughout Europe, including peacekeeping operations in Bosnia.

In this ambitious study, David Yost analyzes the major changes in the alliance and its new roles. While the Allies remain committed to collective defense, they have increasingly endowed NATO with new roles as an instrument of collective security. NATO Transformed provdies a comprehensive survey and analysis of the current debate on the alliance's enlargement and its new cooperative security institutions—-including the Partnership for Peace and the special consultative forums with Russia and Ukraine-- and the demands of crisis management and peacekeeping operations beyond NATO territory. Drawing on international political theory and the history of other alliances, Yost identifies crucial challenges for the cohesion and effectiveness of "the new NATO."

5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for serious scholars of European security, Mar 20 2000
This review is from: NATO Transformed: The Alliance's New Roles in International Security (Paperback)
Professor Yost as per custom provides a lucid, innovative, and extremely well-documented account of the future of NATO--an issue which will preoccupy US presidents in their essential leadership role of the Atlantic Alliance as it rediscovers its essential purpose of forging a just and lasting peace, accompanied by appropriate security guarantees, for the whole of Europe. Together with Sean Kay's NATO and the Future of European Security (Rowman and Littlefield, 1998), Gerald B. Solomon's The NATO Enlargement Debate (Praeger 1998), James Goldgeier's Not Whether But When (Brookings 1999). and the special issue of Defense Analysis, "NATO at Fifty," ed. by Andrew Dorman and Thomas Durell Young (December 1999), international relations professors and enthusiasts have their core reading in front of them covering the main issues of the mix between collective defense and collective security, partnership with Russia and Ukraine, NATO enlargement, and the development of the concept of "mutually reinforcing institutions" for comprehensive security in the Euro-Atlantic area and beyond. Professor Yost has once again provided a thoughtful and impartial expert analysis of the key issues of our time and those of generations to foll ow.
