This book advances North Atlantic Treaty Organization (henceforth,
NATO) burden analysis through a decomposition of the political,
financial, social, and defense burdens members take on for the
institution. The overemphasis of committing a minimum of 2% of
member state Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to defense spending, as a
proxy indicator of alliance commitment does not properly reflect
how commitments reduce risks should Article V be invoked through
attack (i.e., 2% is a political & symbolic target adopted by
Defense Ministers in 2006 at Riga). Considering defense burdens
multi-dimensionally explains why some members overcontribute, as
well as, why burden sharing negotiations cause friction among 30
diverse members with differing threats and risks. In creating a
comprehensive institutional burden management model and focusing on
risks to members, the book explores the weaknesses of major
theories on the study and division of collective burdens and
institutional assets. It argues that member risks and threats are
essential to understanding how burdens are distributed across a set
of overlapping institutions within NATO's structure providing its
central goods. The importance of the USA, as a defense underwriter
for some, affects negotiations despite its absence from research
empirically; new data permit testing the argument (Kavanaugh 2014).
This book contributes conceptual innovation and theoretical
analysis to advance student, researcher, and policymaker
understanding of burden management, strategic bargaining, and
defense cooperation. The contribution is a generalizable risk
management model of IO burden sharing using NATO as the case for
scientific study due to its prominence.
