THE NATO HANDBOOK 50th Anniversary Edition Office of Information and Press NATO - 1110 BRUSSELS, BELGIUM 1998 - 1 - Handbook 52 1 18/01/99, 15:32 - 2 - Handbook 52 2 18/01/99, 15:32 NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANISATION (NATO) MEMBER COUNTRIES Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States. The North Atlantic Treaty, signed in Washington in April 1949, created an Alliance for collective defence as defined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. The Treaty is of indefinite duration. The Alliance links 14 European countries with the United States and Canada. In July 1997, at a Summit Meeting in Madrid, the Heads of State and Government of the Alliance invited the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland to begin accession talks with a view to becoming members of the Alliance by 1999. In accordance with Article 10 of the Treaty, the Alliance remains open to future accessions by other European states in a position to further its principles and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area. In parallel with the internal and external transformation of the Alliance which has taken place since the end of the Cold War, NATO has established a new Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council as a forum for consultation and cooperation with Partner countries throughout the Euro-Atlantic area. It has created new structures reflecting intensified cooperation with Russia and partnership with Ukraine as well as an enhanced dialogue with interested Mediterranean countries. It has undergone far-reaching internal and external reform and has made itself the instrument of peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area as it enters the new millennium. The fourth of April 1999 marks the 50th anniversary of the North Atlantic Treaty. The NATO Emblem, which appears on the cover of this book, was adopted as the symbol of the Atlantic Alliance by the North Atlantic Council in October 1953. The circle is the symbol of unity and cooperation and the compass rose suggests the common road to peace taken by the 16 member countries of the Atlantic Alliance. - 3 - Handbook 52 3 18/01/99, 15:32 NOTE The NATO Handbook is issued by the NATO Office of Information and Press as a reference book on the Alliance and on Alliance polices. The formulations which are used reflect as closely as possible the con- sensus among the member nations which is the basis for all Alliance decisions. However the Handbook is not a formally agreed NATO document and therefore may not necessarily represent the official opin- ions or positions of individual member governments on every issue dis- cussed. The NATO Handbook - Documentation and the NATO Handbook - Chronology are published separately as companion volumes to this edi- tion. Copies may be obtained from the Distribution Unit, NATO Office of Information and Press, NATO - 1110 Brussels. The NATO Handbook and the companion volumes will also be made available on NATO’s web site (www.nato.int). The information contained in the NATO Handbook covers events and policy developments up to the end of May 1998. Appendices listing members of the North Atlantic Council, Military Representatives and officials are correct at the time of going to press (September 1998).

    NATO and Japan: a Strategic Convergence? Post Cold-War Geopolitics: Russia, China, Anti-Piracy and Anti-Terrorism

    Original Article NATO and Japan: A strategic convergence? Post cold-war geopolitics: Russia, China, anti-piracy and anti-terrorism David Scott Analyst-consultant, 7 Barrepta Close, Carbis Bay, St. Ives, Cornwall, TR26 2LL, UK. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this article, I argue that NATO and Japan, from a parallel anti-Soviet Cold War position through common links with the United States, have directly moved towards each other since the 1990s. Each of them has gone more global. NATO’s ‘out of area’ operations have taken NATO eastwards from its previous focus on Europe and the Mediterranean, while Japan’s gradual multilateral activism have taken it westwards from its previous focus on East Asia. This has created geopolitical overlap between these two actors, most notably in Afghanistan but also elsewhere in the Indian Ocean. Common advocacy of liberal democracy, and overt concerns over jihadist and piracy destabilisation have brought these two actors together. NATO’s post-Cold War search for relevance meets Japan’s wider external security sensitivity, especially with regard to China’s rise. However, while NATO has adopted a flexible range of ‘Partnership’ frameworks, there have been long-running constitutional impediments to Japan deploying military forces outside its own immediate territory. It is precisely this impediment to further NATO- Japan interaction that the Japanese government has been removing during 2015.

  • Antecedentes De La OTAN

    Antecedentes De La OTAN

    Antecedentes de la OTAN La OTAN respeta el sistema de cumbres que se realizan periódicamente en sede de los países miembro. La Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte (cuyo acrónimo en español es OTAN) es una organización internacional establecida en 1949 con el objetivo de colaborar en la defensa en los campos político, económico y militar. Nació a raíz de un acuerdo denominado Tratado del Atlántico Norte que fue firmado en Washington, D.C. el 4 de abril de 1949. El equivalente en inglés es North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). Teóricamente destinado a ser una garantía de seguridad de los estados de Europa Occidental ante la Unión Soviética y sus aliados. El Pacto de Varsovia se creó más tarde, en 1955, para contrarrestar a la OTAN tras la admisión y el posible rearme de la República Federal de Alemania. Como le era propio a la coyuntura de la guerra fría las fuerzas de la OTAN actuaron sólo como fuerza disuasoria. Tras la desintegración de la Unión Soviética, la OTAN ha reformulado sus objetivos y actividades hasta apropiarse de la seguridad de todo el hemisferio norte. En este marco, se desarrolló la única operación de ataque a un país de la OTAN en toda su historia, el ataque contra Yugoslavia en 1999. Inicialmente, el ataque estaba destinado a parar la limpieza étnica en Kosovo, donde se realizó una gran cantidad de crímenes contra población civil, además de suponer el campo de pruebas del armamento radioactivo de baja intensidad (los proyectiles de uranio empobrecido). Tras la invasión de Afganistán por parte de EEUU, la OTAN ha llevado una misión encargada por la ONU llamada Fuerza Internacional de Asistencia a la Seguridad (ISAF).

    Nordatlantikvertrag-Organisation

    Nordatlantikvertrag-Organisation Als NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, auch: Nordatlantikvertrag-Organisation, auf französisch l'Organisation du Traité de l'Atlantique Nord und auf spanisch Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte, abgekürzt OTAN) wird die Institution bezeichnet, die den Nordatlantikvertrag, ein militärisches Bündnis europäischer und nordamerikanischer Staaten, umsetzt. Der Sitz des Nordatlantikrats, des Hauptorgans der NATO, ist seit 1967 in Brüssel. Mitglieder Die NATO hat derzeit 26 Mitglieder. Zu den Gründungsmitgliedern, die somit seit 1949 der NATO angehören, zählen Belgien, Dänemark, Frankreich, Island, Italien, Kanada, Luxemburg, die Niederlande, Norwegen, Portugal, die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika sowie Großbritannien und Nordirland. Im Jahre 1952 traten die Türkei und Griechenland der Organisation bei und seit 1955 ist die Bundesrepublik Deutschland Mitglied der NATO. Spanien ist dem Bündnis 1982 beigetreten und 1990 erfolgte die Ausdehnung des NATO-Vertrags auf das gesamte Deutschland. Im Zuge der NATO-Osterweiterung wurden 1999 Tschechien, Polen, Ungarn sowie 2004 noch Estland, Lettland, Litauen, Bulgarien, Rumänien, die Slowakei und Slowenien Mitglieder der NATO. Besonderheiten bestehen hinsichtlich Frankreich, das seit 1966 nicht mehr in die Militärstrukturen der NATO integriert ist. Der Grund für Frankreichs Austritt lag daran, dass De Gaulle die Nato als Instrument amerikanischer Interessen nicht akzeptierte. Er wollte Frankreichs militärische Unabhängigkeit und Entscheidungsfreiheit bewahren und sich und seine französischen Truppen nicht unter US-Kommando unterordnen. Ebenfalls aus diesen Strukturen kurzfristig ausgeschieden waren Griechenland in der Zeit von 1974 bis 1981 und Spanien von 1986 bis 1999. Ein Sonderfall ist Island, das über keine eigenen Streitkräfte verfügt und sich stattdessen zu medizinischer Hilfeleistung verpflichtet hat. Inhalt des Nordatlantikvertrags Der Nordatlantikvertrag sieht ein Defensivbündnis ohne automatische militärische Beistandspflicht der Mitglieder vor.

  • Chapter 4 Nato Post-Cold War: Search for a New Identity

    Chapter 4 Nato Post-Cold War: Search for a New Identity

    CHAPTER 4 NATO POST-COLD WAR: SEARCH FOR A NEW IDENTITY I. INTRODUCTION This chapter seeks to highlight the relevance of NATO after the end of the Cold War. It is divided into three parts: (I). Disappearance of the U.S.S.R, (II). New Challenges and (III). Evolution of a New Framework. PART I: DISAPPEARANCE OF THE U.S.S.R Throughout history, military alliances have formed to balance either countervailing power or the perceived threat thereof. They have collapsed when the need for a balance disappeared as a result of either power crumbling or threat perceptions changing. While the origins of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation can be found in its members’ perceived need to balance rising Soviet power in the aftermath of the Second World War, the collapse of Soviet imperial rule in the late 1980s did not lead to NATO’s demise. For that reason, NATO is often referred to as the most successful military alliance in history. Not only did it prove to be the key instrument in defending its members against Soviet attack or subversion and in helping to speed Soviet disintegration, the Atlantic Alliance survived and at times, thrived in the decade since the disappearance of the Soviet threat robbed NATO of its main raison d’etre. If success is measured by longevity, then NATO has rightly earned its historic designation. For a full half century-with forty of the fifty years just ended dominated by the Cold War. NATO has served as a foundation stone of Euro-Atlantic peace and security, many deeming it in fact the ‘cornerstone’.

    Nato's Raison D'être After the Cold

    NATO’S RAISON D’ÊTRE AFTER THE COLD WAR A Thesis Presented to the MA Programme of the OSCE Academy in Bishkek in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Politics and Security by Yrys Abdieva December 2017 The OSCE Academy in Bishkek STATEMENT OF THESIS APPROVAL The MA Thesis of Yrys Abdieva has been approved by the following: Payam Foroughi, Thesis Supervisor 7 December 2017 Date Approved Kemel Toktomushev, Defense Committee Chair 7 December 2017 Date Approved Aigoul Abdoubaetova, Academic Coordinator 7 December 2017 Date Approved Alexander Wolters, OSCE Academy Director 7 December 2017 Date Approved ABSTRACT The aim of this Thesis is to analyze how the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) perceived threats have changed since the end of the Cold War and what reasoning NATO brings for its continued existence. To do so, this Thesis chronolo- gically explores NATO’s threat perceptions to its members in the post-Cold War era, in addition to determining opinions of scholars on NATO’s continued existence. Using a combined methodology of discourse analysis of 22 speeches of NATO Secretary Generals (1990-2016) and six in-depth interviews with NATO officials and experts, this Thesis determined that unlike the Cold War era when NATO’s primary threat perception was the USSR (and communist ideology), and thus singular, in the post- Cold War era, the Alliance’s threat perceptions have been multiple. Analysis of NATO Secretary Generals’ speeches revealed that in the post-Cold War era, the word “Russia” was spoken 122 times and “terrorism” 70 times, while a significant stress was also put on possible “future” threats to the NATO alliance members.
