Description

"I argue that NATO is a specific international organization that must be understood through three consecutive prisms: interests, values, and functions. The first prism is by far the most common vantage point through which the Alliance is studied and I will use it as a premise, or commonly assumed starting point from which to begin my analysis. That is, I will take it as my starting point that all 28 (soon 29) members of NATO are foremost motivated to act (or not to act) by means of NATO because they are in pursuit of interests. However, both the values nations express and use in NATO and the functions that NATO qua organization performs add important dimensions to the policies and actions of the Alliance ... The organized representation and mobilization of interests and values in the NATO institution is done by means of three functions: finding political agreement; generating and maintaining military capability and readiness; and using persuasive powers and enabling leadership on the part of the United States ... The values and functions are not posited as additions or substitutes to NATO interests. Rather, they shape and mold NATO policy and action. I do not propose to drop 'interests' as the critical outcome of what NATO is and does, but I propose to open a little more the black box of what we mean by NATO interests. In the sections below, I will describe and explain the two values and three functions. I then apply the variables to NATO's crisis management operations (including the comprehensive approach) and NATO's relationship with Russia. The model reveals certain patterns of NATO polices and actions. In the concluding section of the paper, I consider how the framework may help NATO 'think about' dealing with the challenge posed by the ideology of totalitarian Islamism and Islamic State"--Introduction.
