NATO maneuvers on Russia
Kupchan, Charles A. | December 15, 1997 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the expansion of full North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) membership to Russia. The logic of enlargement leaves the West with only one viable option for locking in a peaceful Europe: opening NATO to Russia itself. By adding members to NATO, U.S. President Bill Clinton is making the alliance the centerpiece of a new Atlantic security order. As long as Russia continues down the path of democratic reform, its ultimate inclusion is both a logical necessity and a strategic imperative. A more prudent course would have been to leave NATO alone as an insurance policy but build a pan-European structure alongside it.
