At the Washington Summit in April 1999, NATO will formally admit three new members: Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Together with the future enlargement of the European Union, the integration of these three countries into NATO will significantly diminish the prospect that Central Europe will again become a source of international tension and geopolitical rivalry. If NATO does not issue invitations to any new members at the Washington Summit, how can the credibility of its “open door” policy be maintained? Who should be invited to join in the second round and when should it take place?
