Preface

Up until 1991 Europes political map was still well ordered and clear. The Western European countries were members of NATO and the Eastern European countries belonged to the Warsaw Pact. Some countries had a neutral status, which was largely determined by the geopolitical situation as it existed immediately after World War II. With the abolition of the Warsaw Pact, the unification of Germany and the collapse of the Soviet Union a totally new security situation emerged. While the Western European countries are now collecting the peace dividend, the Central and Eastern European countries exist in a security vacuum, in a no-mans land between East and West. Now that the Warsaw Pact no longer exists, external security has again become a matter of national responsibility, not only in theory but also in reality. For the first time since 1945 the former Soviet satellite countries have to stand on their own feet.

The Central European countries knocked on NATOs door after the cold winds of conservatism came blowing from Moscow and the Soviets brutally cracked down against the Baltic states. Neutrality had lost its rationale. The August coup in Moscow brought to light how unstable the security situation in Europe actually was. NATO linked its fate, at least verbally, to the fate of the newly emerging democracies. Broadening of NATO was not on the agenda. The rapid Soviet disintegration nonetheless demanded that at least some form of affiliation be established. The North Atlantic Cooperation Council was set up as an interim solution. This forum of consultation enabled NATO to give a certain guidance to the disintegration process. The Central European countries, confronted with increasing regional instability, were especially disappointed when it turned out that they would not be given a position of preference. Now that the development of the CSCE as a pan-European security organization is stagnating, NATO is the most likely organization to contribute to stability on the European continent.

In the meantime NATO has adjusted its strategy to the new security situation. The new strategy also includes the creation of the European pillar and a European security identity; the former strategy (Harmel report 1967) of dialogue and defense has been replaced by more dynamic dialogue, notably in terms of arms control and cooperation. The West better understands now what the real needs of the new democracies in Central and Eastern Europe are
