Collective Security in Europe and Asia

Abstract

This study makes the case that collective security is a viable concept that can contribute to the success of our national military strategy provided that: (1) a clear, conceptual distinction is made between collective security and collective defense; (2) the two concepts are viewed as reinforcing rather than antithetical; and, therefore, (3) collective security and collective defense can be integrated to form transregional security linkages through existing multinational organizations--a 'seamless web' of collective action. Collective security; Asian regional security; U.S. presence; NATO.
