NATO--STRATEGIC ASPECTS--NEW STRATEGIC CONCEPT, 1999 2. ESDI 3. NATO Added entry(s): 1. Cicero Foundation (NL) Notes: 'In April 1999 NATO celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. The organization looks like a juggler, doing an impossible balancing act, trying to keep five or more balls at a time in the air; managing peace operations in Bosnia and Kosovo, enlarging its membership to new countries, giving the Europeans a larger role, establishing a delicate, still vulnerable, relationship with Russia, and at the same time reviewing its strategic concept. NATO's Strategic Concept has to be adapted to the realities of the modern world. The emphasis will shift from territorial defence to NATO's new 'out of area' peace missions. Although Europeans are willing to go 'out of area' and play a more active regional role, they are, however, reluctant to become America's junior partner in policing the world. A question which is still unanswered is how the new Strategic Concept will affect the European Security and Defence Identity. Will it enable the European members to more frequently play an independent role, or - on the contrary - will it bring the Europeans progressively more in line with US global strategic interests ?'

NATO--STRATEGIC ASPECTS 2. NATO--STRATEGIC ASPECTS--NEW STRATEGIC CONCEPT, 1991 3. NATO--TRANSITION Notes: Includes index. 'Shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the symbol of the European revolution of 1989, work began on a new strategic concept for NATO. It represented the first milestone in the Alliance's adaptation to the new security situation. The period which followed has been one of the most highly charged and significant in the Alliance's history. Little has been written about the intense political processes within NATO and the struggle to achieve consensus which precedes every major and

far-reaching decision. This ground-breaking book charts the course taken by the discussions within NATO's political and military apparatus which have influenced the political process. Written with unique insight into this complex and fascinating process, the book reads more like a thriller than a work of political analysis and follows the evolution of NATO's new identity as it unfolds.'

496.3 /00283 NATO in the New European Order - Houndmills, UK : MacMillan. xiii, 178 p.; 23 cm. ISBN: 0312158157 Author(s): 1. Carr, Fergus 2. Ifantis, Kostas Subject(s): 1. EUROPE--NATIONAL SECURITY 2. NATO--STRATEGIC ASPECTS 3. NATO--EUROPE Notes: Bibliography: p. 159-170. Includes index. 'The European security environment has undergone profound change since 1989. The division of Europe and Germany and the impasse of the Cold War has ended. The collapse of communism and the Soviet Union completed the process of change. A new order has emerged which is less certain, less coherent and with new security challenges : separatism, ethnic conflict and intrastate conflict. The tragedy in the former Republic of Yugoslavia underlines the nature of these problems. The demise of the Soviet Union and the emergence of the new Russia has sub-regional, European and international implications. This book examines NATO's response and adjustment to the new security environment. It analyses the process of change in the European order and its effects upon transatlantic relations. The new institutional map of Europe is assessed in its capacity to respond to multilevel security risks. Instability in the Balkans forms a special focus of the book. Finally the question of NATO's enlargement to Eastern Europe is considered.' ID number: 80013322 Year: 1996

623 /00799 Nuclear Command and Control in NATO : Nuclear Weapons Operations and the Strategy of Flexible Response - Houndmills, UK : MacMillan. xiv, 251 p. : ill.; 23 cm. ISBN: 0333646975 Author(s): 1. Gregory, Shaun R. Subject(s): 1. COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS--NATO 2. NUCLEAR WEAPONS--NATO 3. NATO--STRATEGIC ASPECTS--FLEXIBLE RESPONSE Notes: Bibliography: p. 229-245. Includes index. 'For more than forty years NATO premised its defence on credible nuclear deterrence. Underwriting this deterrence was NATO's strategy and the nuclear weapons and command and control systems intended to make the strategy an operational reality. This book examines NATO's attempts between 1952 and 1990 to achieve the political and military control of nuclear weapons operations in a multinational organisation. The book examines nuclear weapons commnd and control at the political, military

and politico-military levels and uses case-studies of US, British, French and NATO nuclear weapons operations and empirical evidence from Cold War crises to examine NATO's ability to conduct the nuclear weapons operations implicit in its strategy. It argues that NATO faced a series of difficult challenges which were never fully resolved and suggests that the resolution of such issues as nuclear sharing, interoperability and assuring tight political control of nuclear forces remain important concerns for the new security context.'

Subject(s): 1. WARFARE, CONVENTIONAL--NATO 2. NATO--STRATEGIC ASPECTS 3. NATO--STRATEGIC ASPECTS--FLEXIBLE RESPONSE Notes: Bibliography: p. 355-376. Includes index. 'This book provides a detailed description of the evolution of NATO's conventional force posture from the beginning of the alliance through the dramatic events of the early 1990s. Among the questions it addresses are : What role has NATO military strategy assigned to conventional forces? How large have these forces been, especially in the Central Region of Europe? When and in what ways has NATO's conventional force posture changed over the years? What factors have been most influential in shaping alliance strategy and conventional force structure?'

Johnsen, William Thomas, 1952- Subject(s): 1. NATO--STRATEGIC ASPECTS--NEW STRATEGIC CONCEPT, 1991 Added entry(s): 1. US Army War College. Strategic Studies Institute (US) Notes: 'This monograph examines the elements of 'The Alliance's New Strategic Concept', to include its implementation and follow-on initiatives, and assess whether these efforts adequately prepare NATO to meet the 21st century. This assessment begins with a brief description of the key elements of the Strategic Concept. The study next assesses NATO's numerous political and military initiatives for implementing the Strategic Concept, with emphasis on evaluating their success. Particular stress is devoted to the issue of NATO's growing participation in collective security acitvities, and the inherent contradiction this holds for NATO's continued existence - specified in the Strategic Concept and routinely reiterated thereafter - as a collective defense organization. The report closes with conclusions and recommendations for further Alliance action.' ID number: 80011988 Year: 1995

A thesis presented to the Faculty of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of doctor of philosophy. 'This study locates the dual origins of the Harmel Exercise and Report in the challenge which growing East-West detente posed for the Alliance in the mid-1960s, and in the specific crisis triggered by France's 1966 withdrawal from NATO leading to the transfer of the central Alliance organs to Belgium. After analyzing the domestic and wider reasons for Harmel's initiative, the study then narrates and analyzes the course of the Exercice, including the difficult negotiations and final drafting in the Fall of 1967.'

Young, Thomas-Durell Subject(s): 1. NATO--TRANSITION 2. NATO--STRATEGIC ASPECTS Added entry(s): 1. US Army War College. Strategic Studies Institute (US) Notes: 'The authors argue here that the Alliance's new strategy does not need reviewing, but rather urgently requires full implementation. Relationships toward the east are needed, but not offering meaningless pseudo-membership in NATO. The authors also contend that one of the key problems facing the Alliance's defense structures is the archaic defense planning system, based on meeting a now nonexistant threat. In its place, they propose a new planning methodology which should be based on capabilities and/or interests. Finally they discuss at length the current status of the command and control reorganization In the integrated military command and recommend additional reforms.' ID number: 80009069 Year: 1993

Bitzinger, Richard A. Subject(s): 1. NATO--STRATEGIC ASPECTS Added entry(s): 1. Rand Corporation (US) 2. Ford Foundation (US) Notes: A Conference Report. 'On March 21-23, 1988, a conference was held in Ebenhausen, West Germany, on the subject of 'Reconstructing NATO Strategy for the 1990s,' bringing together defense analysts and government officials from the United States, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, and Great Britain to discuss the future of

alliance strategy in the next decade. Conference sessions included such topics as the evolution of Soviet strategy; options and concepts for rebuilding NATO strategy; concepts, options, and priorities for nuclear and conventional force structure development, including modernization and arms control and the future role of Western Europe within the alliance. Overall, the conference appeared to raise more questions about the future of NATO strategy than it answered. Nearly everyone present wanted to 'save' flexible response and strengthen alliance resolve and unity around this doctine. However, there were many views about the best way to do this, and conflicting national interests were still very much in evidence.' ID number: 80017637 Year: 1989

The other category of options involves arms control.

In short, a defence against TBMs targeted at NATO's forward positions is now an urgent requirement if the credibility of NATO's policy of deterrence is to be preserved, and this would be the case even if the American SDI programme had never been initiated.'

the strategic priorities established by the 'atlanticists' over the last 36 years. The authors assert that the supreme paradox is that until and unless NATO is 'Europeanized' in some manner which captures the overwhelming support of the peoples of Western Europe, then the fatal attraction of neutralism and one-sided disarmament will grow into an irresistible force which no Western European government will be able to resist.

His purposes are to explain how NATO arrived at the 1979 decision, to identify the problems facing the allies as they attempt to carry out that decision and to judge how successful the current effort is likely to be.

Menaul, Stewart Subject(s): 1. NATO--STRATEGIC ASPECTS 2. NUCLEAR WEAPONS--NATO 3. NUCLEAR WARFARE--NATO Added entry(s): 1. Institute for the Study of Conflict (GB) Notes: 'Conventional wisdom has it that the defence of Europe rests upon the US strategic deterrent. The corollary to this doctrine is that a war-winning NATO capability is unnecessary and, since it is claimed to be vastly expensive, undesirable. These propositions, doubtless valid in an era of US nuclear supremacy, are now challenged by strategists who argue the actuality or imminence of strategic disconnection brought about by the Soviet acquisition of an effective

first-strike capability which has as yet no counterpart on the American side. NATO nuclear forces must therefore be capable of playing their proper part in deterring, or defending against, a full-scale Soviet attack against Western Europe without reliance on escalation to the strategic nuclear level.'

It discusses how military doctrine and technology ought to interact; how revised doctrines can allow NATO to match the Warsaw Pact conventionally; and how the proper employment of new weapons can favour the defence. It suggests that, if NATO's conventional capacity is re-appraised in this way, many of the militarily induced difficulties currently besetting Alliance politics can disappear (given the will) and that a new framework for the analysis of European security problems can emerge.'

'Mr. Kaplan advances a new strategy for NATO, designed to provide a better defense for Western Europe and be consistent with the new spirit of East-West detente. Kaplan lays the groundwork for his proposal by reviewing the Alliance's genesis and history to date, the current political and military problems besetting it, and the range of attitudes toward the West within the present Soviet hierarchy; and by comparing the force structures and capabilities of NATO and its adversary, the WTO. He then outlines his 'dissuasion' strategy, which he believes would both deter war better than 'deterrence' and, in the unlikely event of war, provide a superior war-fighting capability for the Western allies.'

- Naumann, Klaus NATO and the EU's Strategic Choices. INTERNATIONALE POLITIK, vol. 4, no. 3, Fall 2003, p. 11-16. The US and Europe must turn the crisis of today's transatlantic relations into an opportunity and build a real global partnership. The European 'pillar' of the alliance must be based on a unified European foreign policy - and on enough defense outlays, wisely spent, to produce a usable instrument. That mandates acquiring C4ISR force multipliers that can turn 20th-century 'legacy forces' into 21st-century units that can deploy shoulder-to-shoulder with American forces. The end result should be 'mutually indispensable partners who respect one another'.

- Volten, Peter NAVO : zonder strategie, geen regie. INTERNATIONALE SPECTATOR, jg. 57, nr. 1, januari 2003, p. 20-26. The author states that NATO's defence policy during the Cold War was guided by a strategy. Since the end of the 'long war' in Europe in 1989, NATO conducts a much more demanding security policy, but without a strategy that guides the core business of the Alliance. The new American national security strategy should not fill that gap, because it is too one-sided and almost exclusively addresses military-strategic questions. In building a new world order, the West, including NATO, should also have a political strategy aiming at the strengthening of stability, democratic order and the rule of law. The latter is part and parcel of the 'new' Europe and subject to further enlargement towards the East. NATO missions in areas further afield, such as in the Middle East and possibly Iraq, must be guided by a more even-handed strategy than the present American policy implies and the European allies should insist on a comprehensive security policy leading to the enlargement of the security community NATO represents. Without such a common strategy, the United States and Europe are likely to drift apart, undermining the essence of that community and risking new divides in the world order.

- Forcieri, Giovanni The Defence Capabilities Initiative and NATO's Strategic Concept. COMMITTEE REPORTS (NATO Parliamentary Assembly), 2000, 20 p. (491.6/24). http://www.nato-pa.int/publications/comrep This report analyses the relationship between the Strategic Concept and DCI. Chapter one summarises the 1999 Strategic Concept, with chapter two offering a review of NATO nations' current operational capabilities. Chapter three focuses on the technology gap that has developed between nations, most notably between the United States and the other allies. This chapter outlines why a gap has developed and what implications it ** This list contains material received as of October 21st, 2003 – Cette liste est arrêtée au 21 octobre 2003.

may have on further preventing future allied interoperability. Chapter four reviews the measures taken by NATO to close the capability gap, focusing on the implementation of the Defence Capabilities Initiative. Chapter five considers how the DCI has affected this year's Force Planning Process and Force Goals, both generally and for individual nations. Chapter six concludes the report with an evaluation of the DCI's future direction and its potential for assisting NATO nations to meet the objectives set out in the Strategic Concept.

- Carpenter, Ted Galen NATO's New Strategic Concept : Coherent Blueprint or Conceptual Muddle ? JOURNAL OF STRATEGIC STUDIES, vol. 23, no. 3, September 2000, p. 7-28. NATO's new Strategic Concept is a document that attempts to placate competing factions on several major issues. Indeed, the carefully crafted language barely conceals the depth of discord on such matters as NATO's commitment to out-of-area missions or the functional relationship between the alliance and the European Security and Defense Identity. As a political and public relations document, the Strategic Concept has been a solid success in preserving at least the facade of alliance unity. Yet the underlying substantive disagreements continue to roil. Thus, as a coherent strategic blueprint the Concept is not, and likely will not be, terribly relevant.

This article reflects one of the many possible points of view of the 50th anniversary of NATO. The subject matter is rather a reminder of some of the strategic decisions which the author considers to be in their own right characteristics of NATO as a security organisation.

- Wittmann, Klaus NATO's New Strategic Concept. NATO'S NATIONS AND PARTNERS FOR PEACE, no. 1, 2000, p. 10-11. Since its 50th anniversary summit meeting at Washington in April 1999, NATO has a new Strategic Concept. The Alliance's Heads of State and Government - for the first time at 19 - adopted this Concept as a pivotal element to advance, after almost ten years, the process of the Alliance's adaptation to the new security environment since the end of the Cold War. After the Washington Treaty, the Alliance's Strategic Concept is the key policy document of the 'new NATO'. It defines its purpose and missions, and it contains the guidelines for the future orientations of its armed forces.

1999

- Nye, Joseph S. Redefining NATO's Mission in the Information Age. NATO REVIEW, vol. 47, no. 4, Winter 1999, p. 12-15. Kosovo demonstrated how the 'CNN effect' - the free flow of information and shortened news cycles - has a huge impact on public opinion, placing some items at the top of the public agenda that might otherwise warrant a lower priority. Political leaders in democratic countries are finding it harder then ever to maintain a coherent set of priorities on foreign policy issues and to determine what is in the national interest. Joseph Nye assesses how power is distributed in the world today, following the end of the Cold War and the onset of the Information Age, and suggests what criteria might help guide NATO policy in the new strategic environment of the 21st century.

- Minon, Miguel Herrero de Kosovo y la nueva estrategia atlantica. POLITICA EXTERIOR, vol. 13, no. 71, septiembre - octubre 1999, p. 55-66. La OTAN ha cambiado su estrategia y convertido los valores politicos de sus miembros en una exigencia para la estabilidad y seguridad en toda el area 'euro-atlantica'. Su doctrina ha pasado del equilibrio global a la prevencion de las crisis, haciendo especial hincapie en los aspectos no militares de la seguridad. En Kosovo, al dejar al margen el Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, ha invocado una legitimidad material y anterior al Derecho para su intervencion.

- Wittmann, Klaus Gewandeltes Selbstverstandnis und erweitertes Aufgabenspektrum : der Weg zum neuen Strategischen Konzept der NATO. EUROPAISCHE SICHERHEIT, 48. Jg., Nr. 8, August 1999, S. 12-19. Of course, the New Strategic Concept of NATO is a product of cautious adaptation of the hitherto valid documents, compromises between dissenting opinions, and the desire of the member states to see their respective main points of interest anchored wherever there is a 'peg' for it. At the same time it is, however, a sufficiently workable conceptual basis which contains all important statements about the terms of reference and role of NATO on the road to the 21st century - in part it leaves room for interpretation so that diverging positions are possible to be reconciled with each other - and which gives a sufficiently precise guidance for the further development of the NATO forces with regard to the accomplishment of their overall task spectrum.

- Kamp, Karl-Heinz L' OTAN apres le Kosovo : ange de paix ou gendarme du monde ? POLITIQUE ETRANGERE, 64e annee, no. 2, ete 1999, p. 245-256. L'auteur analyse ici en quoi le sommet de Washington celebrant le 50e anniversaire de l'Alliance atlantique et le conflit au Kosovo ont une incidence sur la definition des missions futures de l'OTAN, et notamment la gestion des crises et la question de l'identite europeenne de securite et de defense. Il ne pense pas que l'OTAN devienne un 'ange de paix' ou bien le 'gendarme du monde' au nom des interets occidentaux. Au contraire, il note que ce qui caracterise l'Alliance, c'est bien plutot la retenue militaire et la faible capacite des pays-membres a engager leurs forces armees dans des operations a risque, l'intervention en Serbie, de ce point de vue, ne constituant pas un modele pour son avenir. Refusant de definir une strategie de maniere trop precise et d'exclure ainsi certaines options, le maitre mot de l'Alliance future sera donc la 'flexibilite'.

- Brown, Michael E. Una OTAN minimalista. POLITICA EXTERIOR, vol. 13, no. 70, julio - agosto 1999, p. 73-86. El final de la guerra fria hizo inevitable una reforma en la estructura y en la mision de la OTAN. La ampliacion de su area de interes geografico y el desarrollo de vinculos con los paises de Europa central y oriental dio origen a una estrategia globalista que pone en peligro la pervivencia de la organizacion y la implicacion de EE UU en los asuntos de seguridad europeos
