| Summary/Abstract |
THE PEACE AND SECURITY INSTITUTES of Europe have changed a lot during the two post-Cold War decades yet its image of the most peaceful continent with a stable security architecture is a gross overstatement. There is a mounting concern among some of the European countries with the NATO-centered system or, at least, with some of its aspects. NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia was one of such debatable issues; the NATO members procrastinated far too long in ratifying the adjusted CFE Treaty until Russia suspended its implementation of the Treaty. The 2008 armed conflict around South Ossetia just added tension to the far from simple situation.
