NATO'S Southern Flank: A Strategic Assessment.

Abstract

The study conducts a critical evaluation of the Southern Flank members of NATO (Italy, Greece, and Turkey), to include the political, cultural, and economic stability of each, as well as the capability of their armed forces to contribute to the NATO mission, and within this context, to assess the NATO mid-range strategy for the 'Southern Region.' A brief assessment was also made of the entire Mediterranean littoral as well as other factors that might influence the mid-range strategy, e.g., the Arab-Israeli conflict, MBFR, etc.
