Читать книгу What's Wrong with NATO and How to Fix it - Mark Webber - Страница 27

There are powerful reasons, then, why NATO has taken on more tasks. But the manner and scope of that adaptation has brought with it real problems. Some of these we consider below. In doing so, our analysis is not structured around NATO’s big topic agenda items: terrorism, Russia, the Afghan conflict and so on. Rather, we examine four categories of dysfunction that underlie the concrete challenges the Alliance faces: a reluctance to make hard choices; imprecise policy goals; a thinning of commitment; and division among the allies.
