In: European security: ES, Band 5, Heft 4, S. 521-528

Abstract

THE IMPORTANCE OF AN ENDURING FRAMEWORK OF MILITARY CO-OPERATION FOR THE ENTIRE EURO-ATLANTIC AREA IS GREAT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A MAJOR EVOLUTION IN THE STATUS AND CHARACTER OF THE PARTNERSHIP FOR PEACE (PFP) PROGRAM. THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES THE CHALLENGE OF NATO ENLARGEMENT, A PARTNERSHIP OF UNEQUALS, DEEPENING MILITARY COOPERATION, REGIONAL CO-OPERATION, A POLITICAL FRAMEWORK FOR PFP, COOPERATION WITH RUSSIA, AND THE INDIVISIBILITY OF SECURITY. IT ARGUES THAT IN THEATRICAL TERMS, PFP IS SET TO MOVE FROM THE UNDERSTUDY OF ENLARGEMENT TO ITS COUNTERPART.
