Summary: | The last five years have been turbulent times throughout Europe. The political, economic, military and social realities of a Europe no longer threatened by the Soviet Union calls into question the entire security architecture of the continent. In the process of redefining security and stability in Europe, many nations are looking to cultivate security relationships in areas that no longer enjoy the certainties of a bi-polar world. Given the NATO will enlarge to meet the security needs of Europe and the North Atlantic region, this paper identifies Russian security interests that will be threatened by NATO enlargement. The author suggests how the United States should address Russian security interests during the enlargement process. |
