Book excerpt: With the crumbling of the Soviet empire, the reunification of Germany and the rise of the European Community, the Atlantic alliance between the U.S. and Western Europe is in jeopardy, according to these tough-minded essays. Political scientist Henry Nau spins a scenario whereby Central European nations join the European Community and dilute the latter's security ties with the U.S. Harvard national security analyst Josef Joffee urges America to maintain a strong military presence in the heart of Europe in view of Soviet military power and a reunited Germany. Editor Perle, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, warns that NATO may crumble like the Warsaw Pact unless it reorients itself toward protection of Western security interests in the Persian Gulf and elsewhere. Roundtable commentaries accompanying the book's five essays give it the feel of an open-ended debate.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inauspicious Beginnings shows that at the end of the Cold War many experts in the international community expected a new world order to emerge in which international security institutions - such as the United Nations Security Council and NATO - would play a major role in preventing and ending conflicts. But while the 1990s proved to be a decade of international insecurity and major humanitarian disasters, thus demonstrating the need for a wider and more efficient system of security institutions, the principal powers failed to create them. Instead, the emerging order was marked by the overwhelming power of the United States, which, under the Bush Sr and Clinton administrations, did not see such a system as a necessity. The authors detail how the Bush and Clinton administrations relied on catering to allies and building large coalitions to deal with major international security challenges, while other principal powers were either pre-occupied with their domestic problems or deferred to the United States. As a consequence, on the eve of 11 September 2001 the United Nations Security Council remained an older, outmoded power configuration incapable of responding efficiently to the with novel challenges besetting it. Its relevance has been further questioned by the unilateral occupation of Iraq by the United States.

Download or read book Beyond the Wall written by Elizabeth Pond and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Wall is the first book, in either English or German, to tell the whole story of the extraordinary revolution that demolished the Berlin Wall, ended the Cold war, and tore apart the Soviet regime. Elizabeth Pond, former Moscow and European correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, was an eyewitness to the dramatic events of 1989-92 and to the fifteen years of relations between Germany and Eastern Europe leading up to them. Pond weaves together in riveting prose the strands of events that are usually recounted separately. Rather than looking just at the East German revolt or the process of unification that created a new nation, she traces the interaction of these events and their diplomatic consequences for Europe. Pond shows the political, economic, and social forces at work--leading up to the unification, during the transition process, and in the aftermath. Looking at the European framework, she explains how significantly the European Community and its move toward integration both affected and were affected by German unification. The book contains a wealth of new information form hundreds of interviews with top German and American policymakers, East German Politburo members and average German citizens. It also incorporates up-to-date research on such topics as the Stasi secret police and the midlife crisis of the German left. Pond concludes with an assessment of the roles of the United States and a unified Germany in the new Europe. Calling for a continued partnership between the United States and Germany, who "have come through a common baptism of fire since the fall of the Berlin Wall," Pond casts an optimistic eye toward the future.
