Description
Nato's Evolution: A Quarter Century of Alliance Expansion Since the 1990s, Nato has undergone significant transformation. Originally conceived as a bulwark against the Soviet Union, the alliance has outlasted its ostensible foe by over three decades. Its geostrategic remit now extends beyond the North Atlantic, with treaty obligations spanning from the Andes to the Gulf of Aden and the Khyber Pass. This book provides an in-depth examination of Nato's evolution since the turn of the 1990s. Contributors revisit the history of the alliance as it unfolded, offering varying perspectives on its purposes and impact. With a critical perspective that challenges wartime pieties, Natopolitanism sheds new light on the role of Nato in the post-Cold War world. By exploring Nato's expansion over the past quarter century, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the alliance's current state and its implications for international security.
