Description
Superfluous, brain-dead, failed in Afghanistan - never before has NATO had to face such massive criticism. The time for this is anything but favourable: in the new world disorder, Russia and China are challenging the West, international terrorism is on the rise, while democracy is in retreat worldwide. Even in member states of the transatlantic alliance, the lure of authoritarianism is on the rise. Nevertheless, there is no reason to fear that NATO's success story has come to an end. It is not an old-fashioned military alliance that breaks up when member states' interests diverge. Rather, it is a political alliance in which sovereign states develop their national interests into an overarching alliance interest.
This is helped by its democratic value base with its obligation to reach consensus, as well as its design as a marketplace where diplomats, officials and soldiers constantly exchange ideas in formal and informal formats of discussion. This is NATO's unique strength, which should be exploited more in the future. In the last chapters of his book, the author focuses on the people in NATO as well as in the ministries of the member states. Regardless of whether they belong to the top management or work in the engine room - they make the difference. In the face of re-nationalisation tendencies, their task is not easy. They need role models, freedom to think and act, and comprehensive education.
