NATO in the 1990s: Redefining Alliance Theory

The book explores NATO's evolution following the Cold War, arguing that the Alliance not only transformed itself but also positively influenced Europe's security landscape, achieving unprecedented stability since the Napoleonic Wars. It challenges traditional alliance theories by demonstrating that NATO's adaptability and proactive role in shaping its environment affirm its status as a historically significant alliance. The analysis prompts a reevaluation of the belief that alliances dissolve when their original purpose ceases to exist.
