Download or read book Alliance Behavior In The Warsaw Pact written by Daniel N. Nelson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do alliances, in the aggregate, "behave"? What explains the actions and performance of alliances? Within alliances, how do members' actions and performance vary, and what explains that variance? This book addresses these questions with respect to one of the world's principal alliances of the late twentieth century, the Warsaw Treaty Organization (WTO), also known as the Warsaw Pact. The author argues that though we understand a great deal about the military hardware of the Warsaw Pact, little is known about its reliability, cohesiveness, and the distribution of military burden within it--all key variables, he argues, in influencing change in alliance behavior. In each chapter he offers a new way to measure one of these variables and suggests possible explanations for variance. In addition, he examines the effect East-West relations have on cohesion and how Warsaw Pact allies have distributed the defense effort in the past. A concluding chapter is devoted to an empirical assessment of Warsaw Pact alliance behavior, combining indicators of cohesion, reliability, and burden-sharing in a general portrait of the WTO as a collective actor in international politics.

Download or read book Eastern Europe s Northern Tier and Proposed Changes in Warsaw Pact Military Doctrine written by Sally W. Stoecker and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Warsaw Pact's Political Consultative Committee issued a "revolutionary" communique on May 29, 1987, stating that its military doctrine would be "strictly defensive" and would require only the minimal level of weapons "sufficient" for defense. This paper reviews the varied responses of Warsaw Pact countries to this declaration. The author speculates that military officers of the Northern Tier countries--Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the German Democratic Republic--may lack enthusiasm for a revised military doctrine because of concerns about the defense of their homeland and their strategic importance within the Warsaw Pact. On a political level, however, these countries have issued disarmament proposals of their own, suggesting a political endorsement of Gorbachev's arms control initiatives."--Rand abstract.

Download or read book Security Implications Of Nationalism In Eastern Europe written by Jeffrey Simon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suggesting that events in Poland during 1980–1981 represent the tip of an iceberg, the contributors examine the rise of nationalism in Eastern Europe and its potential consequences for European security. They analyze developing problems and trends in the region, including the cooling of relations between the USSR and individual countries in Eastern Europe, the continuing economic crisis, changing social structures, the influence of the intelligentsia, and the eroding importance of ideology as a key part of Eastern Europe's political culture. The second half of the book focuses on the impact of these shifts on political and military relations between the USSR and Eastern European countries and on the efficient functioning of the Warsaw Pact.

Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1988, represents a unique attempt to combine a discussion of an alternative British defence policy in terms of military strategy and new technology, with a consideration of how this policy might be secure in political terms. Written against a background of a possible future Labour government in the late 1980s with a radically different defence policy to the Conservative Government of the day, it considers questions such as: Would conventional deterrence really be effective? Just what is the Labour Party’s defence policy? How precisely might Britain be transformed into a non-aligned, non-militarist state?
