Countless editorials have addressed the if, how, why, when, and
who dimensions of NATO enlargement. These issues will continue to
generate debate despite the Madrid summit decisions and will
invariably influence legislators in discharging their historic
responsibility to provide advice and consent to ratification of the
protocols of accession before April 1999. Congressman Solomon's
volume will help place these issues in perspective, answer the
skeptics of enlargement, and provide the missing historical context
for the profound geopolitical challenge of European security on the
cusp of the 21st century.
He begins by reviewing NATO's initial response, from 1989 to
1990, to the collapse of the Warsaw Pact. The early moves from
outreach toward enlargement are then explored, and then he examines
how NATO sought to combine the two strands of prospective
enlargement while engaging nations not seeking NATO membership,
especially Russia, to prepare for coalition operations and the
spread of democratic security values. Next he analyzes how the
Partnership for Peace concept eventually progressed toward the
decisions to invite the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland to join
the alliance by 1999. Important reading for scholars, policymakers,
and citizens concerned with current strategic and international
relations issues.
