The end of the Cold War ushered in a new security environment, one
that was more diverse, and more dynamic than the previous 50 years.
In the years since the end of the Cold War, NATO has worked to
transform its missions, streamline its military command and upgrade
its capabilities. However, the political decision making process
within NATO has stayed static, despite the changes and evolution in
the security environment since the founding of the Alliance.The
current decision-making process works well in clear-cut,
controversy-free issues such as humanitarian efforts. While, NATO
successfully activated the NATO Response Force (NRF) for the first
time in response to the earthquake in Pakistan, it isn't clear that
the decision process will work that well in a controversial crisis.
While several proposals exist to transform the decision process,
each has its weaknesses and there does not seem to be the political
will to implement them. Additionally none of the proposals examined
appear to decreases the process timeline.The speed with which NATO
could respond to a crisis will remain dependent on political
factors.
