As a result of reunification with the Federal Republic of Germany, East Germany has, in effect, become the first of the former Warsaw Pact nations to enter NATO. The four countries discussed in this volume Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia----all have interest in joining the Alliance as well, and all have made commitments in varying degrees toward that goal. To understand why these nations are striving to meet the criteria for inclusion in a NATO enlargement program, and how well they are succeeding, one needs an appreciation of the political history of each nation since the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact. In this t~)ok, Jeffrey Simon, one of the most experienced and well informed analysts of Central European matters, offers just such a history. He begins with Poland's extremely complex and difficult struggle toward democratic government since 1989, reminding us of the violence done to Polish society and the Polish people earlier this century and illuminating recent political events that otherwise might seem merely chaotic. Then he traces the somewhat easier struggles of Hungary and Czechoslovakia, explaining with admirable clarity how those nations advanced along parallel but different paths, and why the Czech Republic and SIovakia have advanced at different paces since the "Velvet Divorce"----the amicable separation of those two nations. This invaluable work--which has been completed with the cooperation and encouragement of the nations involved---stands as an authoritative, meticulously documented, and very timely history of the swift transition from socialist to democratic political principles in Central Europe in less than a decade. ERVIN J. ROKKE Lieutenant General, U.S. Air Force President, National Defense University NATO ENLARGEMENT AND CENTRAL EUROPE A STUDY IN CML-MILITARY RELATIONS I. PAST AS PROLOGUE istory has forced Central Europe to adjust to politics of the H .extreme because it has been a region where states have rarely conformed with the nations living within their territorial bound- aries. States in the region have merged, disintegrated, disap- peared, and even been moved to different locations. Perhaps because of these experiences, Central European nations have demonstrated remarkable resilience and capacity to reassert national will. During the eighteenth century, Germany comprised more than 350 independent duchies and principalities. By the end of the Napoleonic era, it comprised roughly the 40 states that were final- ly unified by Otto yon Bismarck after the Franco-Prussian war in 1871. Following defeat in World War I, the Treaty of Versailles mandated Germany's loss of the Alsace-Lorraine to France, Poznan West Prussia to Poland, the Hultchin district to Czecho- slovakia, and Memel to Lithuania. Danzig became a free city. Hitler's attempt to establish the Third Reich led to World War II and Germany's second catastropic defeat, resulting in the four- power occupation of Berlin, the loss of much of its eastern territo- ry, and the division of the remainder of Germany into two states; the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the German Demo- cratic Republic (GDR). The German Democratic Republic's brief history was one of dramatic changes. After the German border was moved 125 miles westward to make room for the "new" Poland, the GDR emerged 2 NATO ENLARGEMENT under communist rule. Because of the communistic Socialist Unity Party's (SED) complete loss of control and legitimacy in the Fall of 1989, the GDR was "unified" (in reality absorbed) on 3 October 1990 to become five "eastern" laender (states) in a reunited Germa- ny- and NATO. The GDR thus simply disappeared. In Orwellian fashion, the former cornerstone of the Warsaw Pact found itself in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, an organization that had been for 40 years its "'enemy" object--and even its raison d'etre. Germany's reunification exemplifies Central Europe's return to historical patterns and NATO's ability to enlarge eastward. Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia have also experienced historic transformations. Each has thrown off the yoke of 45 years of communist party domination and regained national sovereign- ty. Each is attempting to erect liberal democratic political institu- tions, establish market economies, guarantee civil and human rights, acquire civil control of its military, and join the European Union and NATO. All three have successfully negotiated the with- drawal of Soviet (eventually Russian) forces from their soil, con- tributed to the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CEMA)--structures that provided some semblance of economic and political-military order to the region--and observed Germany's reunification and the Soviet Union's disintegration. Poland's history has also been a study in politics of the extreme. After experiencing three partitions during the eighteenth century, culminating in Poland's total absorption by Prussia, Russia, and the Hapsburg Empire, the Polish state disappeared from the European stage in 1795. Statehood was not resurrected until after World War I, when the Treaty of Versailles established the independent Polish Republic from areas controlled by Russia, Germany, and Austria. Poland's experience with democratic rule was brief; in May 1926 it ended with Marshall Pilsudski's coup and military dic- tatorship, which itself ended following the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and the German and Soviet attacks on Poland starting PAST AS PROLOGUE 3 September 1, 1939. With Germany's impending collapse in 1944, Soviet military forces "temporarily" occupied Poland with its Northern Group of Forces. Communist rule followed. Despite popular challenges to communist rule in 1956, 1970, 1976, and 1980-81, Polish democratization did not begin until 1988-89. Hungary, for many years an isolated linguistic and cultural island within the Hapsburg empire, managed to gain a semblance of autonomy from Hapsburg rule after the 1867 ausgleich, which created the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy. As a successor to the Danubian Monarchy after World War I, Hungary was consid- ered one of the powers responsible for the war.

  • Reagan and the Soviet Union: Competing Military Strategies, 1980-1988
    4 Reagan and the Soviet Union: Competing Military Strategies, 1980-1988 David M. Glantz This essay evaluates the policies and military strategy introduced by U.S. Pres- ident Ronald Reagan vis-à-vis the Soviet Union, within the context of over forty years of intense strategic competition called the Cold War. The Cold War remained “cold” because the two competing countries emerged from the World War as victorious superpower with unchallenged military capabilities and un- precedented territories either under their control or within their spheres of in- fluence. Despite sharply differing ideologies and political systems, the United States and Soviet Union understood the risks and potential costs of war, espe- cially after both became atomic powers by the late 1940s. Both recognized that deliberately unleashing a world war was no longer a rational act. Given this unique constraint, the ensuing completion became a prolonged game of strategic “cat and mouse,” as the two counties jockeyed with each other for a more advantageous position militarily, politically, and economically. The instruments of this game were specific military strategies governing the nature of the competition and setting limits on the countries’ military actions, all of which acknowledged that the nuclear balance was quite literally a mutually-rec- ognized balance of terror. David M. Glantz, “Reagan and the Soviet Union: Competing Military Strategies, 1980-1988,” Essay, Enduring Legacy Project, John A. Adams ’71 Center for Military History & Strategic Analysis, Virginia Military Institute, 2014. 2 Conventional wisdom concerning the Cold War maintains that this “cat and mouse” game played out successfully, that is, relatively peacefully, because neither side was willing to violate the constraints imposed by this balance of ter- ror.

  • Procurement Politics, Technology Transfer and the Challenges of Collaborative MBT Projects in the NATO Alliance Since 1945
    A Standard European Tank? Procurement Politics, Technology Transfer and the Challenges of Collaborative MBT Projects in the NATO Alliance since 1945 Mike Cubbin School of Arts and Media Salford University Submitted to the University of Salford in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2019 Abstract International cooperation in weapons technology projects has long been a feature of alliance politics; and, there are many advantages to both international technology transfer and standardisation within military alliances. International collaboration between national defence industries has produced successful weapon systems from technologically advanced fighter aircraft to anti-tank missiles. Given the success of many joint defence projects, one unresolved question is why there have been no successful collaborative international main battle tank (MBT) projects since 1945. This thesis seeks to answer this question by considering four case studies of failed attempts to produce an MBT through an international collaborative tank project: first and second, the Franco-German efforts to produce a standard European tank, or Euro-Panzer (represented by two separate projects in 1957-63 and 1977- 83); third, the US-German MBT-70 project (1963-70); and, fourth, the Anglo-German Future Main Battle Tank, or KPz3 (1971-77). In order to provide an explanation of the causes of failure on four separate occasions, the analysis includes reference to other high-technology civilian and military joint projects which either succeeded,

  • The Rhetorical Crisis of the Fall of the Berlin Wall
    THE RHETORICAL CRISIS OF THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL: FORGOTTEN NARRATIVES AND POLITICAL DIRECTIONS A Dissertation by MARCO EHRL Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Nathan Crick Committee Members, Alan Kluver William T. Coombs Gabriela Thornton Head of Department, J. Kevin Barge August 2018 Major Subject: Communication Copyright 2018 Marco Ehrl ABSTRACT The accidental opening of the Berlin Wall on November 9th, 1989, dismantled the political narratives of the East and the West and opened up a rhetorical arena for political narrators like the East German citizen movements, the West German press, and the West German leadership to define and exploit the political crisis and put forward favorable resolutions. With this dissertation, I trace the neglected and forgotten political directions as they reside in the narratives of the East German citizen movements, the West German press, and the West German political leadership between November 1989 and February 1990. The events surrounding November 9th, 1989, present a unique opportunity for this endeavor in that the common flows of political communication between organized East German publics, the West German press, and West German political leaders changed for a moment and with it the distribution of political legitimacy. To account for these new flows of political communication and the battle between different political crisis narrators over the rhetorical rights to reestablish political legitimacy, I develop a rhetorical model for political crisis narrative. This theoretical model integrates insights from political crisis communication theories, strategic narratives, and rhetoric.
