Download or read book NATO written by Uwe Hartmann and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-09-16 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obsolete, brain dead, a failure in Afghanistan - NATO has never had to deal with such massive criticism. The timing is anything but good: in the new world disorder, Russia and China are challenging the West, international terrorism is on the rise, while democracy is in retreat around the world. Even in member states of the transatlantic alliance, the seductive lure of authoritarianism is increasing. Nevertheless, there is no reason to fear that NATO's success story has come to an end. NATO is not some old-fashioned military alliance that crumbles when member states' interests diverge. Rather, it is a political alliance in which sovereign states further develop their national interests into an overarching alliance interest. Its democratic values, the obligation to reach a consensus as well as its design as a marketplace where diplomats, civil servants and soldiers constantly exchange information in formal and informal discussion formats help here. This is the unique strength of NATO, which should be used more in the future. In the last chapters of his book, the author addresses the people in NATO and in the ministries of the member states. Regardless of whether they belong to the top management or work in the engine room - they make the difference. Given the re-nationalization tendencies, their task is not easy. They need role models, freedom to think and act, and comprehensive education.
Book Synopsis NATO and the Baltic Approaches 1949–1989 by : Peter Bogason
Download or read book NATO and the Baltic Approaches 1949–1989 written by Peter Bogason and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-10-23 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of the book is the creation of tactics for littoral warfare – as opposed to the more common blue ocean perspective. Themes are how NATO perceived the goals of the enemy; the purposes of the NATO organisations, the military instruments they had to organise, the organization of cooperation among units from sovereign states, and how they tested their military capabilities. Research is based on war plans and tactics of the Danish and West German navies and their planned support from air forces. We follow the modernisations of the navies from guns to missiles. Tactical discussions among military top offi cers are laid bare, and intelligence reports about the Warsaw Pact and its military capabilities are presented. Exercises are analysed based on the military reports.

Book Synopsis Allied command structures in the new NATO by :
Download or read book Allied command structures in the new NATO written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After extremely promising efforts to strengthen NATO's military structure, progress has been slowed by demands to convert the AFSOUTH command at Naples from a U.S.-led to a European-led position. AFSOUTH consists of Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. The role of NATO's regional commanders has been enhanced significantly since the end of the Cold War. As NATO broadens it focus, adding crisis management operations to its core mission of collective defense, it is the theater commander who has been called upon to deal with conflict at the regional level. The United States has but one major subordinate commander in Europe, at AFSOUTH. Therefore, the proposal to make AFSOUTH a European-led command would weaken the Alliance by weakening the U.S. leadership role in regional affairs at a time when that command is becoming increasingly important. The AFSOUTH issue has become difficult to manage for at least three reasons. As a result, a high-level effort may be required to break the deadlock. Setting aside the AFSOUTH issue, there has been significant progress in the area of NATO adaptation - that is, in strengthening of ESDI in NATO. However, U.S. military strength remains crucial. The military assets and capabilities that the United States makes available to AFSOUTH warrant a U.S.-led command. U.S. leadership will be essential at least until there is evidence that European leadership would be backed by European capabilities and resources commensurate with the importance of the region. Given the recent and projected trends in European defense investments, it cannot be foreseen when adequate capabilities and commitment of resources would become a reality. A review of recent history in the Balkans, the Aegean area, the Persian Gulf, and the Middle East indicates the indispensable nature of both U.S. diplomacy and U.S. military engagement in the key regions surrounding the AFSOUTH area of operation.

Book Synopsis Nato and Collective Security by : Michael J. Brenner
Download or read book Nato and Collective Security written by Michael J. Brenner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing perspectives from five Western capitals, this multinational study examines the formidable political and structural conditions for effective collaboration between NATO and the United Nations in performing peace-making and peacekeeping missions. The diplomatic and military requirements for operating principles of collective security in post-Cold War Europe are illuminated by contrasting the policies of major NATO governments. Candid assessments of the differing national attitudes that lie behind them are offered by an international team of scholars. Their analyses are set against the backdrop of the experience in Yugoslavia, and the momentous decisions on NATO's structural reform and enlargement.
Book Synopsis Transforming NATO in the Cold War by : Andreas Wenger
Download or read book Transforming NATO in the Cold War written by Andreas Wenger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-11-22 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive history of NATO in the 1960s, based on the systematic use of multinational archival evidence. This new book is the result of a gathering of leading Cold War historians from both sides of the Atlantic, including Jeremi Suri, Erin Mahan, and Leopoldo Nuti. It shows in great detail how the transformation of NATO since 1991 has opened up new perspectives on the alliance’s evolution during the Cold War. Viewed in retrospect, the 1960s were instrumental to the strengthening of NATO's political clout, which proved to be decisive in winning the Cold War – even more so than NATO's defense and deterrence capabilities. In addition, it shows that NATO increasingly served as a hub for state, institutional, transnational, and individual actors in that decade. Contributions to the book highlight the importance of NATO's ability to generate "soft power", the scope and limits of alliance consultation, the important role of common transatlantic values, and the growing influence of small allies. NATO's survival in the crucial 1960s provides valuable lessons for the current bargaining on the purpose and cohesion of the alliance. This book will be of much interest to students of international history, Cold War studies and strategic studies.
Book Synopsis The EU-NATO Relationship by : Martin Reichard
Download or read book The EU-NATO Relationship written by Martin Reichard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU-NATO relationship continues to develop at a time of significant change for both organizations. Post 9/11, NATO embarked on a fundamental transformation, recasting itself as an organization with global strategic reach and interest, focused less on Europe than ever before. At the same time, the EU is also becoming a more global political actor. Consequently, there is growing evidence that over time the EU will take the primary place in providing military security in Europe. This volume combines political and legal methods to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current and likely future relationship between the EU and NATO. The work will be of interest to all those interested in the development of these two major organizations and international security more generally, whether from a political or legal perspective.

Book Synopsis NATO, Britain, France and the FRG by : B. Heuser
Download or read book NATO, Britain, France and the FRG written by B. Heuser and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999-09-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing the histories (from 1945 to the present) of the nuclear strategies of NATO, Britain and France, and of the defence preferences of the FRG (West Germany), this book shows how strategies were functions of a perceived Soviet threat and an American 'nuclear guarantee'. There were three options for West Europeans: a compromise with differing American needs in NATO, pursued by Britain and the FRG; national nuclear forces, developed by Britain and France; and projects for an independent European nuclear force.
Book Synopsis Defence in a Changing World by : Mathias Voss
Download or read book Defence in a Changing World written by Mathias Voss and published by Nomos Verlag. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was bedeutet "Verteidigung", wo fängt sie an und wo endet sie? Der Autor zeigt eine Vielzahl wichtiger Facetten auf, stellt neue Methoden für die Diskussion zur Verfügung und kommt zu konkreten Ableitungen, um sich dem Begriff zu nähern. Da die Frage nicht nur aus akademischer Sicht interessant, sondern auch zentral für die aktuelle Diskussion zur Ausrichtung der NATO ist, wendet sich das Buch an Forschende und Praktiker gleichermaßen. Der Autor beleuchtet den nebulösen Begriff und dahinterstehende Konzepte aus ganz unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln – historisch, politisch, rechtlich und militärisch – und entwickelt daraus das Modell der "Strategical Analysis", das zentrale Fragestellungen sicht- und greifbar macht. Eine große Rolle spielt in der Betrachtung das Verteidigungsverständnis der NATO von der Gründung über die drei Phasen ihrer Geschichte bis in die heutige Zeit. Im ständigen Wandel der globalen Rahmenbedingungen werden immer neue Anforderungen an die Verteidigung der Allianz gestellt. Von den grundsätzlichen Überlegungen zur Verteidigung leitet der Autor konkrete Empfehlungen für den laufenden Anpassungsprozess der NATO ab.
Book Synopsis The European Neutrals and NATO by : Andrew Cottey
Download or read book The European Neutrals and NATO written by Andrew Cottey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first detailed comparative analysis of the unusual partnership between the main European neutral states and NATO. Neutrality and alliance membership are fundamentally incompatible, but through the vehicle of NATO’s post-Cold War partnerships the European neutral states and NATO have found a way to bridge this gap and cooperate with one another. Based on case studies of Austria, Finland, Ireland, Sweden and Switzerland written by leading experts, this book explores the detail of each country’s relationship with NATO, the factors shaping those relationships and whether any of these states are likely to abandon neutrality and join NATO. The book also contributes to broader work on foreign policy by exploring different explanations of the European neutral states’ foreign and security policy choices. This book will be of interest to scholars of the European neutral states, NATO and European security, as well as to those interested in understanding the dynamics behind states foreign policy choices.
Book Synopsis NATO Armies 1949–87 by : Nigel Thomas
Download or read book NATO Armies 1949–87 written by Nigel Thomas and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 1988-02-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osprey's study of NATO armies of the post-World War II period. The defeat of Hitler on 8 May 1945 left Western Europe militarily vulnerable and economically exhausted. The Soviet Union, however, had since 1940 annexed 180,000 square miles of Eastern Europe, occupied a further 390,000 square miles, and now seemed poised to advance still further westwards with its six-million strong forces. The increasing Soviet threat brought forth demands for a permanent Western Military alliance, and on 4 April 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty was signed in Washington DC. This book explores the history, organization and uniforms of NATO armies - excluding the United States and Great Britain - as they were in the late 1980s.
Book Synopsis Science and Technology of the Undercooled Melt by : P.R. Sahm
Download or read book Science and Technology of the Undercooled Melt written by P.R. Sahm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF '!HE UNDEROLED MELT" This title was chosen as the topical headline of the Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) from March 17 to 22 1985, held at the Castle of Theuern. The usual term "Rapid Solidification" is an overlapping description. Due to the fact that nucleation is so eminently important for the undercooling of a melt and this, in turn, is an important characteristic of rapid solidifi cation, undercooling plays an essential role in "rapid solidification." The undercooled melt has caused an "accelerated evolution" (if not a revolution) in materials science during the last decade. Several rather exciting concepts with interesting potential for novel applications are being pursued presently in various laboratories and companies. They concern not only new processes and ha~ware developments, but also present chal lenging perspectives for ventures, including the founding of new companies; or they promise growth possibilities with established larger and smaller industrial establishments.
Book Synopsis National Role Conceptions in a New Millennium by : Michael Grossman
Download or read book National Role Conceptions in a New Millennium written by Michael Grossman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-17 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Role Conceptions in a New Millennium examines the transformation of the international system through an examination of the role conceptions adopted by the different global actors. Advancing current role theory scholarship in International Relations, the contributors take as their starting point the question of how international actors are responding to the reordering of the global system. They reflect on the rise of new actors and the reemergence of old rivalries, the decline of established norms, and the unleashing of internal political forces such as nationalism and parochialism. They argue that changes in the international system can impact how states define their roles and act as a variable in both domestic and international role contestations. Further, they examine the redefinition of roles of countries and the international organizations that have been central to the US and western dominated world order, including major powers in the world (the US, Russia, China, Britain etc.) as well as the European Union, NATO, and ASEAN. By looking at international organizations, this text moves beyond the traditional subjects of role theory in the study of international relations, to examine how roles are contested in non-state actors. National Role Conceptions in a New Millennium is the first attempt to delve into the individual motivations of states to seek role transition. As such, it is ideal for those teaching and studying both theory and method in international relations and foreign policy analysis.
Book Synopsis NATO's Peace Enforcement Tasks and Policy Communities by : Giovanna Bono
Download or read book NATO's Peace Enforcement Tasks and Policy Communities written by Giovanna Bono and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was published in 2003.How has NATO managed to survive and transform itself into a peace-enforcement organization? Challenging the dominant assumption that NATO intervened in the Balkans because of the threat that conflicts in the region posed to European security, this book develops a new set of research questions based on the hypothesis of the existence of "policy communities". The author demonstrates that there were shifting policy communities in operations that shaped the Alliance's transformation process, arguing that NATO would not have succeeded in assuming peace-enforcement tasks without other factors - ranging from organisational dynamics, domestic politics and the impact of ad hoc reactions to external events - coming into play. Highlighting the role of NATO as an actor in international security, this volume is aimed at academics and practitioners in the field of international relations
