The Emerging Role of NATO in Maintaining Detente.

Abstract

The political climate in the United States and Western Europe still remains a determining factor in the future of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the stabilization of European security. Fundamental to U.S. national security is a stable and secure Western Europe. To foster such a climate requires the presence of U.S. military forces in substantial numbers to complement the forces of other member nations. The most obvious function of these forces is symbolic. They are a living reminder of America's continuing commitment to European security. (Modified author abstract)
