| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Our assumption in this article is that sustainable peace operations require
the involvement of organizations and institutions that are themselves sustainable.
We begin by presenting a set of propositions regarding the sustainability
of international institutions in which the capacity for
adaptation and incremental change are centrally important. We then examine
these propositions in relation to NATO, paying particular attention
to the ways in which the alliance has taken on both new roles and new
members. A central concern of the article is the ways in which NATO member
states' conceptions of identity and definitions of national interest affect
the sustainability of the alliance, and limit the ability of alliance
members to generate the longer-term commitment needed for peace support
operations. |
