A Political and Strategic Assessment of the United States Military Commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
Abstract
The increasing concern over the reduction of the United States forces permanently stationed in Europe was studied. The defenses of Europe are discussed in its historical and strategical value in length. The paper examines the defense interests of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United States as well as the United States commitment, responsibilities, balance of payment problems, and further the why and how of the possible American troop reduction without the isolationism of the United States. The study evaluates America's proper role in the NATO Alliance and calls for a new direction of American foreign policy and strategy with respect to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. (Author)
