Multinational Military Intervention: NATO Policy, Strategy and Burden Sharing [Kõva köide]

'This comprehensive study by Steve Cimbala and Peter Forster demonstrates why NATO's burden sharing debates are important for the future of the alliance. Moreover, now that the age of American hegemony has ended, the outcome of these debates will have a direct impact on U.S. national interests. A must-read for those concerned with the future of the transatlantic relationship.' Lawrence Korb, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress and former Assistant Secretary of Defense 'At a time when burden and responsibility sharing debates amongst NATO allies have reached a new level of intensity in Afghanistan, the authors provide cogent and insightful analysis of how such debates have played out in critical areas of the world since the late Cold War years. An invaluable book for security policy analysts and political and military practitioners alike.' Martin A. Smith, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, UK 'This extraordinarily perceptive book is an essential guide for policy makers and citizens wishing to understand the role of NATO in meeting the challenges of the complex security era that is upon us. The product of mature reflection by leading scholars, it is a thoughtful and forward-looking analysis that shows both the problems and potential of our most important alliance in the years ahead.'
