This book analyses the way in which the North Atlantic Treaty
Organisation (NATO) defines the West after the end of the Cold War
and the demise of its constitutive 'Other', the Soviet Union. The
book offers a theoretical critique of liberal approaches to
security, and focuses on NATO's construction of four geo-cultural
spaces that are the sites of particular dangers or threats, which
cause these spaces to be defined as the 'enemy' of the West. While
this forges a collective Western identity, effectively achieved in
the 1990s, the book also includes an analysis of NATO's involvement
in the War on Terror - an involvement in which the Alliance fails
to define a coherent West, thereby undermining the very source of
its long-standing political cohesion. Contributing to theoretical
development within Critical Security Studies, Behnke draws on a
variety of approaches to provide an analytical framework that
examines the political as well as philosophical problems associated
with NATO's performance of security and identity, concluding that
in the modern era of globalized, non-territorialized threats and
dangers, NATO's traditional spatial understanding of security is no
longer effective given the new dynamics of Western security. NATO's
Security Discourse after the Cold War will be of great interest to
students and researchers of International Relations, Critical
Security Studies and International Organizations.
