Description
Nothing is more important to NATO than the ability to adapt and adjust its approach- tactically, operationally, and strategically-as circumstances change. How NATO Adapts is an honest and unbiased examination of the successes and challenges of this turbulent twenty-first century for the world's premier security Alliance. -- Admiral (ret.) James G. Stavridis, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, current Dean of The Fletcher School, Tufts University How NATO Adapts offers a theoretically innovative and empirically rich account of why this post-World War II military alliance continues to play an important role in today's multipolar world. This well-researched book constitutes an excellent addition to the growing scholarly literature that applies historical-institutional theories to the study of international relations. -- Giovanni Capoccia, University of Oxford A unique analysis of NATO's evolutionary development, How NATO Adapts effectively employs a useful new prism for examining the alliance. Well-organized and well-written, this book should be of great interest to anyone with an academic or professional interest in NATO's history and institutional dynamics. -- Stanley R. Sloan, Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security, The Atlantic Council, author of Defense of the West: NATO, the European Union and the Transatlantic Bargain A meticulously researched and in-depth historical study of the NATO Alliance and its responses to inflection points throughout its history.
