NATO's 2010 Strategic Concept officially broadened the alliance's
mission beyond collective defense, reflecting a peaceful Europe and
changes in alliance activities. NATO had become an international
security facilitator, a crisis-manager even outside Europe, and a
liberal democratic club as much as a mutual-defense organization.
However, Russia's re-entry into great power politics has changed
NATO's strategic calculus. Russia's aggressive annexation of Crimea
in 2014 and its ongoing military support for Ukrainian separatists
dramatically altered the strategic environment and called into
question the liberal European security order. States bordering
Russia, many of which are now NATO members, are worried, and the
alliance is divided over assessments of Russia's behavior. Against
the backdrop of Russia's new assertiveness, an international group
of scholars examines a broad range of issues in the interest of not
only explaining recent alliance developments but also making
recommendations about critical choices confronting the NATO allies.
While a renewed emphasis on collective defense is clearly a
priority, this volume's contributors caution against an
overcorrection, which would leave the alliance too inwardly
focused, play into Russia's hand, and exacerbate regional fault
lines always just below the surface at NATO. This volume places
rapid-fire events in theoretical perspective and will be useful to
foreign policy students, scholars, and practitioners alike.
