The purpose of NATO: From Regional to Global Security Provider is
to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Alliance's new vision
(the new Strategic Concept) and common security impact - associated
tasks to be undertaken within a short and longer term time horizon.
The book serves as a relevant and timely study of the most pressing
issues facing NATO today - including recent lessons gained. It
provides recommendations for consideration and further discussion
(i.e., the "what" and the "how" regarding future policy options for
the North Atlantic Alliance). The intended audience includes
international security policy-makers, government officials, elected
leaders, academics, interested professionals, civil society and
members of the public. Specifically, the book focuses on six topic
areas. Part I, the Introduction, relates to conceptual and
organizational changes, membership expansion and enlargement. Part
II consists of emerging security challenges, including terrorism,
piracy, homeland threats, cyber defense and information warfare,
energy security, non-proliferation and countering WMD. Part III
incorporates national and regional challenges such as the Balkans,
Iraq, Afghanistan/Pakistan, the Horn of Africa, North Africa and
the Middle East. Part IV deals with military and non-military
assets. It integrates capability development, burden sharing,
common funding, ballistic missile defenses and the phased adaptive
approach, non-strategic nuclear weapons, and a broad-based
comprehensive approach to security. Part V covers multifaceted
collaborative relationships between NATO and various governmental,
inter-governmental, and non-governmental bodies. This section
incorporates outreach and engagement with Russia, India, Pakistan,
and China, as well as with other non-NATO countries, the
Mediterranean Dialogue (MD), and the Istanbul Cooperation
Initiative (ICI). Formal and informal linkages with the EU, OSCE,
and the UN are also essential features of such a cooperative
activity. Additionally, the expanding participation of civil
society and growing involvement of new key NATO interlocutors
(e.g., NGOs, academics) have created new international partnering
opportunities as a means of bolstering global security through
innovative public-private partnerships. Part VI includes a Summary
and Conclusions.
