Strategic Challenges for NATO

Abstract

NATO has been very proactive in assessing and re-assessing the possible threats in and around Europe and the USSR. The Partnership for Peace Program, Russian-NATO Council, and Mediterranean Dialogue are recent initiatives to ensure regional stability. By taking this forward-looking approach, NATO's mission to promote stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area remains valid. The Washington Treaty of 1949 remains a relevant document. NATO has effectively expanded its mission and continues to have a positive stabilizing influence within the original NATO countries. Additionally, NATO's ability to promote democracy has fostered in many former Soviet Bloc countries. This enhances NATO's ability to demonstrate the virtues of democracy and assist with the development of new governments and militaries.
