Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the NATO Alliance enters its seventh decade, it finds itself involved in an array of military missions ranging from Afghanistan to Kosovo to Sudan. It also stands at the center of a host of regional and global partnerships. Yet, NATO has still to articulate a grand strategic vision designed to determine how, when, and where its capabilities should be used, the values underpinning its new missions, and its relationship to other international actors such as the European Union and the United Nations. The drafting of a new strategic concept, begun during NATO’s 60th anniversary summit, presents an opportunity to shape a new transatlantic vision that is anchored in the liberal democratic principles so crucial to NATO’s successes during its Cold War years. Furthermore, that vision should be focused on equipping the Alliance to anticipate and address the increasingly global and less predictable threats of the post-9/11 world. This volume brings together scholars and policy experts from both sides of the Atlantic to examine the key issues that NATO must address in formulating a new strategic vision. With thoughtful and reasoned analysis, it offers both an assessment of NATO’s recent evolution and an analysis of where the Alliance must go if it is to remain relevant in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Diverging Visions of Leadership in the Atlantic Alliance 1957 1963 written by François Lalonde and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In the fall of 1956, the Suez crisis caused a rift between the United States and its European allies France and Britain. As each country tried to come to terms with the meaning of Suez for their foreign policy, widely different visions of the alliance emerged in each country. In the years that followed, these competing visions of leadership within the alliance created tensions across a range of topics from nuclear policy to European integration and African decolonization. This dissertation uses a multi-national and multi-archival approach to reinterpret the history of the transAtlantic alliance from 1957 to 1963. Looking beyond Cold War-induced preoccupations, it adds to the current literature by bringing to the fore issues of economic and strategic interest, national prestige and internal alliance politics. Moreover, Diverging Visions of Leadership argues that the personal relationships between American presidents Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy, British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and French President Charles de Gaulle largely influenced their actions and those of their governments. In elucidating the complex interactions of France, Britain and the United States during the period, it quickly becomes clear that many of the most interesting controversies occurring during this time cannot satisfactorily fit into the Cold War framework traditionally used to explain the period between 1945 and 1991. The British and French colonial retreat, their quest to obtain and maintain an independent nuclear deterrent and the efforts to unite Europe economically and politically through the European Economic Community, for example, have little to do with the Cold War, but remain extremely important to understanding the transatlantic relationship. I argue that diverging visions of leadership and struggles for power within the alliance itself, rather than the external threat of the Soviet Union, provide for a more complete explanation of the actions taken by the leaders of each country as they sought to steer alliance policy towards their own goals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This DIIS Report provides an overview of the political and military issues that are likely to shape the coming discussions about NATO's new Strategic Concept. NATO's current Strategic Concept dates back to 1999 and over the last couple years an increasing number of policy-makers have suggested that it is time to take stock of the transatlantic Alliance. The exercise is significant because the Strategic Concept represents the operational view of the Washington Treaty - the basic text of NATO - and because it will bequeath a new strategic direction to the Alliance. The Report presents three arguments. One is that the Strategic Concept serves several functions: it codifies past decision and existing practices; it provides strategic direction; and it serves as an instrument of public diplomacy. The second argument is that the new Strategic Concept must balance the push and pull of two competing visions of NATO, one being "Come home, NATO;" the other being "Globalize, stupid." The contest between these diverging visions has consequences for a number of issues that the Strategic Concept must address. Lastly, it is argued that although the agenda of globalization is being questioned, NATO will continue down the path of global engagement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1950s, against the unfolding backdrop of the Cold War, American and European leaders began working to reshape Western Europe. They sought to adapt the region to a changing world in which European empires were rapidly disintegrating, Soviet influence was spreading, and the United States could no longer shoulder the entire political and economic burden of the West yet hesitated to share it with Europe. Focusing on the four largest Atlantic powers--Britain, France, Germany, and the United States--Jeffrey Giauque explores these early stages of European integration. Giauque uses evidence from newly opened international archives to show how a mix of cooperation and collaboration shaped efforts to unify postwar Europe. He examines the "grand designs" each country developed to advance its own interests, specific plans for collaboration or accord, and the reactions of the other Atlantic powers to these proposals. Competing national interests not only derailed many otherwise sound plans for European unity, Giauque says, but also influenced such nascent European institutions as the Common Market, the antecedent of today's European Union. Indeed, beyond examining the origins of the European community, this comparative study provides insight into national attitudes and aspirations that continue to shape European and American policies today.

Download or read book Visions Votes and Vetoes written by Jean Marie Palayret and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The empty chair crisis of 1965, resolved in the Luxembourg Compromise of 1966, forms part of the dramatic past of the European Union, and is for many a turning-point in European political integration. This volume, based on new research, revisits these events. It sheds fresh light on the mixed motives of the principal member states, European institutions and third-country actors, and identifies the shadows cast over subsequent legal and political practice. The book results from a collaborative project among historians, lawyers, and political scientists. It draws on new archival material and on many insights from practitioners, both some involved in the events of 1965-66 and others engaged in subsequent negotiations in the Council of the EU. Traces of these events persist in the consensus-oriented culture in the Council, where a concern to avoid sharply polarised confrontation limits recourse to active voting, even though the formal use of qualified majority voting has been greatly extended. Arguments over agricultural policy, the EU budget and world trade negotiations thus continue to provide occasions for some member states to insist on their 'very important interests'. This book stems from a co-funded project of the Fondation Paul-Henri Spaak in Brussels and of the European University Institute and the Historical Archives of the European Union in Florence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the visions of the end of the Cold War that have been put forth since its inception until its actual ending, this volume brings to the fore the reflections, programmes, and strategies that were intended to call into question the bipolar system and replace it with alternative approaches or concepts. These visions were associated not only with prominent individuals, organized groups and civil societies, but were also connected to specific historical processes or events. They ranged from actual, thoroughly conceived programmes, to more blurred, utopian aspirations — or simply the belief that the Cold War had already, in effect, come to an end. Such visions reveal much about the contexts in which they were developed and shed light on crucial moments and phases of the Cold War.
