The central argument of the study is that the NATO enlargement of 1999 failed to meet its strategic purpose. First, it has not removed the ‘eastern security dilemma’ which underpinned Polish, Czech and Hungarian quest for NATO membership. Second, it did not strengthen NATO political cohesion and military effectiveness. To support the argument the study mobilizes the concept of the ‘security community’ developed by Karl Deutsch in 'Political community and North Atlantic Area'. On the account of Deutsch’s concept the study approaches NATO as a security community. It sees therefore the NATO expansion through the prism of extending three features which characterize a security community: the meaning and nature of ‘trust’; ‘security’, and community’s capabilities (i.e. its ‘power’ and ‘responsiveness’). Because of the nature of these constructs, enlargement policy should not been seen as a one way process where candidates simply adjust to NATO practices and implement alliance’s rules and norms, but as a process of mutual learning and socialisation. For that reason NATO enlargement was a process of rebuilding the community; it challenged the community identity, its security concept, relationships among members, and also community capabilities; ‘power’ and ‘responsiveness’. Against this preposition, the study claims that the policy of NATO enlargement created a strategic ambiguity. First, a ‘trusting-relation’ developed only between candidates and community core of strength, that is the US. Second, rather than forge a new ‘concept of security’ the enlarged NATO accommodated competing visions of the alliance security. Third, new members failed to meet enlargement criteria pertaining to NATO capabilities due to the institutional and economic ineffectiveness and flaws in the NATO conditionality policy. As a result of it, NATO enlargement sharpened and multiplied alliance’s problems, weakened its political cohesion, and thus confronted the new members with politically and militarily challenges they were not prepared for. All this seems to contribute to NATO identity crisis and a growing feeling of insecurity among Central European NATO members.

Full textFrom 1973 to 1992, Western Europeans were frequently confronted with political initiatives and doctrinal developments from United States, which they worried about as destabilizing the transatlantic relationship. They are constantly torn between the imperative need to undertake everything to preserve a strong link with the US ally, ultimate guarantee of their defense against the threat from the East, and the will to assert their own interests especially in terms of security. How to make a European identity exist under these conditions ? Our work aims at answering the question, showing that although the Old Nations have never managed to build a real European pillar of the Atlantic Alliance, despite many experiments, the transatlantic relationship, with its share of disagreements, misunderstandings and mistrust, has allowed the development of a rich debate about what characterizes Europe on a politico-strategic level

In 1962 in an article published in Foreign Affairs eminent Italian Federalist Altiero Spinelli noted that ‘Western Europe, thanks to American protection, has become a paradise of political, military and social irresponsibility’. The political dominance of NATO during the Cold War prevented the creation of a strong independent European defence. The NATO and the United States military guarantees to Europe on the one hand gave the Europeans the opportunity to concentrate more on economic and social issues, but on the other prevented Europe from creating common defence institutions and closer political Union, which from a long term perspective would have been more valuable than NATO.

Despite dramatic changes in the international security environment that occurred following the end of the Cold War, key international security organizations (ISOs) have not only managed to persist but have done so by transforming profoundly. However, the existing literature has predominantly focused on the fact of their persistence, failing to scrutinize, systematically and theoretically, the crucial issue of their change. Bearing this gap in mind, this thesis seeks to explore in what way have key ISOs transformed after the Cold War and, in particular, why these transformations have taken the form they have. It does so by relying on insights from practice theory. Therefore, the thesis argues that ISOs are best understood as a constellation of "practices of talking" and "practices of doing". Drawing on Bruno Latour's notion of order making practices, it then proposes that "practices of talking" that unfold in their high-level panels should be considered as principal constitutive practices of these organizations due to possessing a higher ordering capacity. Put differently, they are practices through which state representatives and participating bureaucrats create, advance, juxtapose, and assemble, various types of claims, norms, rules, and principles so as to arrive at particular narratives of international (security) order in view of structuring, on that basis, relations and practices within and without ISOs. In addition to thus fashioning a particular "content" of the international order, they also delineate an ISO's agency with respect to it or, as termed in this thesis, an organizational intent. Based on this joining of a content of an order narrative and an organizational intent attached to it, they are then able to develop an ISO's specific institutional design and corresponding "practices of doing". In light of this conceptualization, the thesis proposes that ISOs transform via (re)negotiation of ordering links/logics in their order narratives (an inevitable consequence of their "communication" with external practices they seek to structure) and corresponding shifts thus introduced to notions of their own purpose/intent. In this regard, I suggest that ISO's transformation can be studied as a fluctuation between their intention to (1) build/construct a new international (security) order, (2) reinforce an order already existing in their environment; (3) merely reflect it; or (4) seek to transcend it because it is considered as excessively strained and thus undesirable. This theoretical and conceptual framework is than used for the analyses of the manner in which the OSCE, the UN, and NATO transformed following the end of the Cold War.
