Book excerpt: Immediately after the revolutions of 1989-1990, Central Europeans announced their desire to "return to Europe." In policy terms this meant that Central Europeans wanted to join the European Union (EU) and NATO. NATO's initial response was to extend its "hand of friendship" at the London Summit in July 1990 and to establish the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (NACC) at the Rome Summit in November 1991. As 1992 opened, not only did the former Soviet Union (and Yugoslavia) disintegrate, but after the June 1992 Czech and Slovak Federated Republic (CSFR) elections, Czech and Slovak leaders decided to conclude a "Velvet Divorce" on 1 January 1993. Despite the fact that the majority of Czechs and Slovaks in both regions opposed separation, no referendum was convened. Since 1993, both CSFR successor states-the Czech Republic and Slovakia-have continued to pursue EU and NATO membership. After the January 1994 Brussels Summit announced Partnership For Peace (PFP), Slovakia became one of the more active of the 27 Partners in the program. In September 1995 Slovakia was briefed by NATO on The Study on NATO Enlargement. When the December 1995 North Atlantic Council (NAC) session invited those Partners interested in NATO membership to engage in enhanced 16+1 dialogues, Slovakia responded affirmatively-participating in three rounds of discussions during 1996-concluding that it wanted to join NATO.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Slovak Republic is a democratic state based on the rule of law with interest in peaceful and lasting cooperation with all nations. With a view to the degree of its readiness, becoming a member of the Alliance in the shortest time possible is the strategic foreign and security policy priority of Slovakia, as it has been expressed in the Program Declaration of the Government. NATO membership fully corresponds with the national interest of Slovakia. This orientation stems from a thorough evaluation of political developments in Europe after the end of the Cold War. The last decade of this century has shown clearly that NATO still is, and will remain in the future, the most important pillar of the European Security Architecture. Sharing with the Alliance common values such as democracy, respect for human and civil rights, market economy, rule of law, security, and freedom, the Slovak Republic considers NATO membership as the only option and the only way of accomplishing her foreign security goals. The principles, upon which the Alliance is based on and ready to defend, have lost neither their value nor their validity. To live in peace with all the nations, to defend peace, democracy, and freedom, to respect the rule of law, these are the very principles and values that bring NATO and the Slovak Republic together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis compares two cases of European democracy and security to explain why the Czech Republic was invited to join NATO and why Slovakia was excluded from the Euro-Atlantic integration. This thesis further discusses the political and economic character of Slovakia and the proposed reforms of Slovak policy to join NATO and the European Union in the near future. When Czechoslovakia split into two independent states, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, on January 1, 1993, both were believed to have a good chance of integrating into the West's political and military organizations at the earliest opportunity. While the Czech Republic forged ahead with democratic and free market reforms and successfully completed NATO accession talks, Slovakia failed to achieve these important objectives. Because of Slovak Prime Minister Vladimfr Meciar's anti-democratic statecraft, Slovakia has lately been excluded from the enlargement process. This policy led Slovakia slowly and non-democratically toward an authoritarian regime and dictatorship. However, the 1998 September Parliamentary elections have changed the political face of Slovakia and the new Prime Minister, Mikulas Dzurinda's government, has aided Slovakia's integration to NATO and the EU.
Download or read book NATO written by M. I. Clausson and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATO is at a crucial point in its development: on the one hand, the European members are seeking to redefine its mission as the security challenges have radically changed since 1990. Another thorny issues is the security responsibilities of the member states. At the same time, there are nine central and eastern European nations which are seeking an invitation to join NATO: Albania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. There are general guidelines for evaluating nations seeking NATO membership; however, these guidelines are not a checklist that, when completed, would automatically guarantee membership. NATO members decide on the basis of consensus whether the admission of a state will serve the interests of the Alliance and promote European security and stability. These two issues form the primary parts of this book dealing with NATO.
