Exploring NATO's post-Cold War determination to support democracy
abroad, this book addresses the alliance's adaptation to the new
illiberal backlashes in Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans and
Afghanistan after the alleged 'return of history'. The book engages
the question of what has driven NATO to pursue democratisation in
face of the significant region-specific challenges and what can
explain policy expansion or retrenchment over time. Explaining
NATO's adaptation from the perspective of power dynamics that push
for international change and historical experience that informs
grand strategy allows wider inferences not only about
democratisation as a foreign policy strategy but also about the
nature of the transatlantic alliance and its relations with a
mostly illiberal environment. Larsen offers a theoretical
conception of NATO as a patchwork of one hegemonic and several
great power interests that converge or diverge in the formulation
of common policy, as opposed to NATO as a community of universal
values. This volume will appeal to researchers of transatlantic
relations, NATO's functional and geographical expansion, hegemony
and great power politics, democracy promotion, lessons of the past,
(Neoclassical) Realism, alliance theory, and the crisis of the
liberal world order.
