Preparing for the NATO Summit: What are the Pivotal Issues?

Abstract

As executive agent of the Chief of Staff of the Army's Strategic Outreach Program, the Strategic Studies Institute sponsored a roundtable discussion on 'The Western European Union in the 1990s: Searching For a Role,' in May 1993. The centerpiece of this meeting was a discussion of a paper presented by the widely-known expert on European defense integration and the WEU, Dr. Peter Schmidt of the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik in Ebenhausen, Germany. In addition to his extensive background and writings on these issues, Dr. Schmidt also had spent six months at the WEU's Institute for Security Studies in Paris. Capturing the ensuing discussion of experts at this roundtable was Dr. Wolfgang Schlor of the Matthew B. Ridgway Center for International Studies, University of Pittsburgh. An edited version of Dr. Schmidt's paper as well as Dr. Schlor's summary are contained in this report.
