NATO Enlargement: Sailing Between Scylla and Charybdis

Abstract

The NATO enlargement process faces two dangers. The first is that enlargement will proceed too fast. If we move too fast, enlargement could upset a very delicate political process underway in Russia. This has been Europe's concern this year. The other danger is that if we slow the process too much, we will lose momentum and the process will stall. This may be Europe's concern next year. NATO needs an enlargement plan that sails deftly between this Scylla and Charybdis.
