Evaluating NATO Enlargement
Author: James GoldgeierPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031233646
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 648
Book Description
Mobilizing an interdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners, this book reviews the history and consequences of NATO’s post-Cold War enlargement into Central and Eastern Europe. It offers a nuanced discussion of the merits and drawbacks of NATO enlargement across the different actors involved and compares the results of the policy against potential alternatives that were not chosen. Particular attention is given to NATO enlargement’s influence on the course of U.S. foreign policy, democracy and security in Central and Eastern Europe, NATO’s own development as a political and military institution, and relations with China and Russia (including the 2022 Russia-Ukraine War). Written for an engaged audience, the book is designed to appeal to students, researchers, and policymakers alike while offering both policy insights and avenues for future scholarship.

Book Description
Few have even thought about the consequences of the Madrid decision for these states. Rather, the debate, such as it has been, remains confined to an increasingly sterile discussion of the pros and cons of enlargement, especially with reference to supposed U.S. or Russian interests. Most of the public U.S. statements, apart from those of the Clinton administration, have been negative, as has been the almost unanimous Russian reaction. While the debate has the virtue of forcing both sides to state openly the premises of their policies; it also has led to a great deal of polemics by partisans of both sides in the debate. Few of those opposing NATO enlargement seem interested in discovering and then analyzing what Russia wants in terms of European security or what European states, either neutrals or aspirant members, want from Western Europe and the United States. Likewise, much of the discussion among those favoring enlargement remains restricted to a discussion of NATO as a force for democratic consolidation rather than an alliance for common defense. That focus obscures many of the realities of international affairs in today's Europe and tends to obscure the hard questions of strategy and defense. In order to explore the second and third order effects that enlargement will have on European and North Atlantic security, the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) convened a roundtable in Washington, DC, on January 27, 1997. SSI and CSIS invited analysts from several European states and American experts on Central and Eastern Europe to analyze how enlargement will affect U.S. policy, the face of European security, and the future of the states that are likely not to be invited to join NATO in the near future. This volume is a representative selection of the papers presented at that roundtable. Stephen Cambone demonstrates how the arguments in favor of NATO's enlargement and their hidden premise that enlargement will so stabilize Europe as to lessen demands on the United States to be a security provider and to maintain a daily presence in Central and East European affairs are misplaced. While Cambone strongly favors enlargement, he rightly notes that its logical next step is much greater and more detailed U.S. involvement, at least politically, if not militarily, in Central and Eastern Europe's new and expanded security agenda. As it is, Washington is busy devising Baltic security programs, trying to lead Bosnia's reconstruction, guaranteeing Ukraine's integrity, and leading the negotiations with Moscow on all issues of European security. The notion that enlargement means that collective security has dawned in Europe and that the United States can relax overlooks the fact that Washington, in order to maintain and reaffirm its central position in Europe and to prevent a renationalization of European security agendas, must become more involved in these and other questions that are sure to arise after enlargement begins. One area where the United States and NATO must become more involved with Central and Eastern European candidates for NATO is civil-military relations.

Bioterrorism and Biocrimes
Author: W. Seth CarusPublisher: The Minerva Group, Inc.
ISBN: 9781410100238
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
The working paper is divided into two main parts. The first part is a descriptive analysis of the illicit use of biological agents by criminals and terrorists. It draws on a series of case studies documented in the second part. The case studies describe every instance identifiable in open source materials in which a perpetrator used, acquired, or threatened to use a biological agent. While the inventory of cases is clearly incomplete, it provides an empirical basis for addressing a number of important questions relating to both biocrimes and bioterrorism. This material should enable policymakers concerned with bioterrorism to make more informed decisions. In the course of this project, the author has researched over 270 alleged cases involving biological agents. This includes all incidents found in open sources that allegedly occurred during the 20th Century. While the list is certainly not complete, it provides the most comprehensive existing unclassified coverage of instances of illicit use of biological agents.
