Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burdensharing is an attempt to reallocate defense expenditure within the framework of an alliance. This attempt has become known in NATO as the "burdensharing" debate. Much of the popularity of the burdensharing debate lies in its presentation of various statistics which, allegedly, proved that one partner (the United States) was assuming a disproportionate share of the common defense burden. This book does not aim to prove, or disprove, that one country carries an unfair burden but it does aim to examine critically the methodologies employed in the debate since the early 1950s. Important lessons for alliance management have been identified and these lessons are more often than not applicable to other geographical areas where the United States and her allies are involved. At a time of transition in Atlantic/European relations it is important that the lessons of the burdensharing debate are understood. Whatever revised, or new, security organization emerges as a result of the monumental changes in Europe and elsewhere, the question of who should pay, and how much, will return. The Burdensharing Debate: A Reassessment also provides an important contribution to the history of NATO and presents to the reader, in a clear and lucid fashion, the complexities of a highly divisive debate.

Download or read book Sharing the Burden written by Benjamin Zyla and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, NATO’s middle powers have been pressured into shouldering an increasing share of the costs of the transatlantic alliance. In Sharing the Burden? Benjamin Zyla rejects the claim that countries like Canada have shirked their responsibilities within NATO. Using a range of measures that go beyond troop numbers and defense budgets to include peacekeeping commitments, foreign economic assistance, and contributions to NATO’s rapid reaction forces and infrastructure, Zyla argues that, proportionally, Canada’s NATO commitments in the 1990s rivaled those of the alliance’s major powers. At the same time, he demonstrates that Canadian policy was driven by strong normative principles to assist failed and failing states rather than a desire to ride the coattails of the United States, as is often presumed. An important challenge to realist theories, Sharing the Burden? is a significant contribution to the debate on the nature of alliances in international relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the future of the United State's burden-sharing responsibilities within NATO. It examines an alliance in transition -- assessing the future allocation of roles, risk, and responsibilities. The first segment concentrates on political, economic, social and technical impacts -- concluding that: Europe must maintain primacy in U.S. defense planning; the Soviet Union will continue to be the U.S.'s most formidable adversary; NATO must recognize its global responsibilities; and the U.S. and its allies must strengthen cohesiveness through compromise. The second segment builds upon these judgements -- proposing ten guidelines for use in allocating burden within NATO. The analysis demonstrates that while many factors impact upon the burdensharing debate, economic assessments are the most contentious. Several economic assessments are conducted -- each showing that the U.S. contributes a disproportionately high share of the financial support to the alliance. The author then identifies factors which dictate a redistribution of costs, demonstrating that failure to reallocate expenses will neutralize the remaining nine findings. Specific recommendations include: selected implementation of role specialization; increased standardization; recognition of indirect costs; incorporation of non-quantitative commitments; better use of multilateral agreements; and a review of the current force structure within NATO. The study concludes by warning that although a redistribution of U.S. commitments is warranted, any reduction of U.S. responsibilities will bring with it a corresponding reduction in the United State's dominant leadership role within NATO.

Download or read book NATO s Burden Sharing Disputes written by Tommi Koivula and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-26 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book states that burden-sharing is one of the most persisting sources for tension and disagreement within NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation). It also belongs to one of the most studied issues within NATO with distinguishable traditions and schools of thought. However, this pertinent question has been rarely discussed extensively by academics. The key idea of the book is to make burden-sharing more understandable as a historical, contemporary and future phenomenon. The authors take a comprehensive look at what is actually meant with burden-sharing and how it has evolved as a concept and a real-life phenomenon through the 70 years of NATO’s existence.

Book excerpt: Sharing Security is a unique and comprehensive study of a key yet often neglected feature of modern international society. It begins by assessing how political theory can contribute to an understanding of international burdensharing. It then analyses in turn why some Western states contribute more than others to common defences, the European Union budget and overseas development aid. It highlights the particular burdensharing problems involved in global regimes, focusing on the UN's continuing financial crisis and the costs of combating global warming. It argues that today's burdensharing disparities continue to be shaped by the particular character of the international settlement at the end of the Second World War.

Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1983, analyses the debate around burden-sharing in NATO, where the main issue is the distribution amongst the allies of the burden of maintaining the security arrangement. This raises problems of defining, measuring and comparing the defence efforts of the various countries. This book examines the issues, and argues for the need to address directly the fundamental problems concerning the Cold War security relationship between the United States and Western Europe.
