Book Description
This book provides a critical examination of NATO’s evolving strategic and operational roles in the Western Balkans since the disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1991, with a particular focus on Bosnia, Kosovo and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, in both the conflict and post-conflict phases. While there is a myriad of literature available on the various conflicts that engulfed the former Yugoslavia after the collapse of communism, less has been written on NATO’s overall role in these conflicts. This text, therefore, fills the gap, offering a thematic study of NATO’s roles and duties in this region from the early 1990s to the present day. The ‘levels of analysis’ introduced by Mulchinock provide a new framework for examining NATO’s response to the Yugoslav wars of secession, focusing on the role of key NATO member states and the role of different NATO Secretaries-General, along with the impact of inter-institutional cooperation (and conflict) with other international organisations.

Book Description
"Official relations between the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) newly began after the establishment of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) in 1999. Before that we can not talk about formal relations between the two organizations." So in this Book, we will describe the historical development of EU-NATO relations from post-Cold War (1990) until the Berlin Plus agreement in 2002, and will analyze this agreement which is considered as the core of the relationship between the two organizations. In addition, we will examine the military missions which were carried out under Berlin Plus agreemnt (Operation Concordia, which took place in the former Yugoslavs Republic of Macedonia in March 2003) and (Operation Althea, which took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2004), in order to understand if the Berlin Plus agreement applied or not, and to know whether there was real cooperation between them or not.

Book Description
For the first time in its modern history the entire Balkan Peninsula has the opportunity to co-exist under one security and developmental umbrella combining NATO and the European Union (EU). Unfortunately, European and American leaders have been unable to complete such a unique historic vision, while the progress of several Western Balkan countries continues to be undermined by a plethora of political, social, economic, ethnic, and national disputes. This monograph focuses on the escalating security challenges facing the Western Balkans, assesses the shortcomings and deficiencies of current international engagement, considers future prospects for U.S. military involvement, and offers recommendations for curtailing conflict and promoting the region's international institutional integration. In particular, to prevent the future deployment of U.S. forces, more comprehensive strategic intelligence gathering is needed, together with the identification of local...

Book Description
"The Warsaw Summit affirmed Alliance interest in and commitment to many geographic regions and nations, without stating priorities. The Western Balkans drew attention, with Serbia, Kosovo and Montenegro receiving specific mention in the Summit Communiqué. However, the Summit promoted a continuance of current NATO activity in this region, not a shift of amelioration. Implicit in this is that the status quo, a small NATO force in Kosovo to enhance security and several liaison offices to monitor partnership activity and the application of the Membership Action Plan in the other Western Balkan states, is sufficient. This paper will argue that such efforts are too small and disjointed to meet the growing challenges in the region, especially given NATO's obligation to conflict prevention in the wake of its significant and successful interventions there in 1996 and 1999. The Warsaw Summit also involved discussion on a re-invigorated line of effort around 'projecting stability.' Paragraphs 80-85 of the Communiqué explain the importance of stability projection, but with clear implication that this really only involves enhanced partnership activity, Defence and Related Security Capacity Building (DCB), and gauging reform needed for membership accession. Absent from the Communiqué is commitment to power projection to shore up regional security and enforce stability if required. Given the effectiveness of large-scale NATO interventions in the Balkans twenty years ago, it is strange that projecting stability does not explicitly include potential deployment of a full range of military capabilities to adequately allow the Alliance to meet the broadest range of challenges. This paper will argue that as NATO begins to seriously debate missions for 'projecting stability' outside of Article 5 boundaries, with special focus on the Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region, it might be wise to first consider doing so where proximity demands immediacy of action with sizable projection: the Western Balkans"--Introduction.

Book Description
This book provides a detailed understanding of how different types of engagements impact upon the reform and EU integration of the Western Balkan region. It examines the influence of Russia, China, Turkey and the UAE in the region and analyses the range of existing links. Contributors offer an academic and multifaceted perspective of the role of external and non-Western actors in the region that goes beyond, on the one hand, the tendency of some Western decision makers to perceive all engagement by third powers as a sinister threat and, on the other, the view of regional governments of all external involvement as a boon coming at a time of Western neglect and reduced foreign investments. By looking at the importance of Russia, Turkey, China and the UAE in the Western Balkans, the book sheds light on one key arena of global competition, offers new insights on the strengths and weaknesses of Euro–Atlantic integration and advances our knowledge of foreign policy and its economic, social and security dimensions for small and medium-sized countries. It will be of interest to academics, postgraduate and research students, and think-tankers with research interest in IR and Southeast European Studies. European decision makers will also gain an insight into the extent of non-Western influence in the region.
