No. 54: Alliance of Contradictions: After NATO's Anniversary Summit

Author(s): Victor Mauer

Editor(s): Daniel Möckli

Series: CSS Analysis in Security Policy

Issue: 54

Publisher(s): Center for Security Studies, ETH Zurich

Publication Year: 2009


The NATO anniversary summit in Strasbourg and Kehl may have been overshadowed by controversy over the nomination of the new secretary-general, but the key issue was the realignment of strategy on Afghanistan, the renewal of the transatlantic partnership, and the task of elaborating a new strategic concept. The increasing dominance of the US in the Afghanistan mission will cause a relative decline of the alliance's importance. In order to preserve the essence of the transatlantic security partnership, NATO will have to trim back fundamentally the level of its aspirations.
