Summary: | The authors analyze and assess NATO's Partnership for Peace (PfP), a recent initiative intended to forge new security relations between NATO and the emerging democracies of Central and Eastern Europe. They identify key elements of the program, establish the political and security context surrounding the initiative, examine criticisms of PfP, and assess its strengths and weaknesses. The authors argue that PfP is a carefully measured approach that offers a mechanism for expanding NATO membership that contributes to enhanced security in Europe without risking a rapid dilution of the Alliance.
