This book examines NATO's transition from a Cold War mutual defence
organization into a global alliance, and puts the recent crisis
over the Afghanistan mission in the context of long-standing
debates over out-of-area interventions. Originally, NATO bound the
western allies together for the purposes of mutual defence as
defined by Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which declared
that an attack on the territory of one ally was to be considered an
attack on them all. However, Article 4 of the Treaty invites the
allies to consult with each other on a less formal basis whenever
their 'territorial integrity, political independence, or security'
was threatened, without the automatic commitment to a shared
response. During the Cold War, the allies consulted both formally
and informally on issues beyond mutual defence in debates that
were, more often than not, extremely contentious. After the Cold
War, these out-of-area missions became the primary focus of NATO's
military missions. The allies had to debate the scope of
co-operation for every mission they considered undertaking
collectively. This book argues that NATO's identity has changed
from a Cold War mutual defence organization to a global alliance in
the course of debates over how to respond to the changing
circumstances of its security environment. This book will be of
much interest to students of security studies, international
organisations, contemporary history and IR in general.
