Overload, decline and government failure
Nato, Russia and the failure of “partnership” before 2022
Always part of a vision? The US and the Israel–Palestinian dispute under George W. Bush and after
Twenty years after Iraq
Denuclearising North Korea
The United States was at least partly culpable for the failure of denuclearisation agreements with North Korea concluded during the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush in the 1990s and early 2000s. American failure to implement commitments in a timely manner arose from a combination of domestic and presidential politics, the constraints imposed by international partnerships, and bureaucratic structures and procedures. For its part, No…
Twenty years after Operation Allied Force
Taking stock after twenty years
Overall, there is mixed evidence of the enduring impact of the Kosovo crisis and Operation Allied Force (OAF) twenty years after the events. OAF and the follow-on deployment of the Kosovo Force (KFOR) in 1999 did consolidate and in effect make permanent a NATO and wider Western presence and set of interests in the Balkan region. NATO’s use of force against Serbia also caused the most serious rupture to date in its already-fragile institutional an…

How Nato survived George W. Bush
Repairing Nato's motors
NATO moves toward its next summit (to be held in Newport, Wales in September 2014) in a mood of anxiety and uncertainty. This is not simply because telling questions are being asked of the alliance in relation to Afghanistan and Ukraine, but because the twin motors which have sustained NATO now show signs of considerable wear and tear. The first of these motors relates to principles of purpose. This encompasses the activities (or purposes) which …
Globalisation and the Resilience of Social Democracy
Research Highlights and Abstract This article: Places New Labour's political economy in historical context using macro-economic data; Demonstrates that the arguments on policy convergence have led to a simplification of the nuances of Labour's political economy and underestimated its partisan nature; Highlights how globalisation rather than restraining Labour allowed an unprecedented increase in borrowing and spending making Labour very different…
Russia and multipolarity since the end of the Cold War
Scholarly debates about the changing nature of international power and its distribution have been an ongoing feature of the years since the end of the Cold War in 1991. Most of these have focused on the position and role of the USA in a unipolar world. In contrast, there has been relatively little discussion about the concept of multipolarity and its various possible meanings. To the extent that such debates have been evident, they have developed…
British nuclear weapons and Nato in the Cold War and beyond
NATO has been a source of influence on British nuclear policy and strategy since the 1950s. The nature and extent of its influence has, however, been kept limited by successive British governments. This article considers how and why this has happened. It discusses evolving British attitudes towards NATO command and planning, and shows how these were reflected with regard to strategic nuclear issues from the late 1950s. The evolution of the key no…
What Happened to Britain's Labor Party
So what if Britain's Labor Party oversaw 13 years of unprecedented economic growth as well as improvements to schools and health care? It's the last year that matters
US bureaucratic politics and the decision to invade Iraq
Why did the second Bush administration decide to invade Iraq in 2003? This article suggests that the question can usefully be addressed by looking at the ways in which regime change in Iraq became part of bureaucratic politics within the US government – under successive administrations – following the unsatisfactory termination of the first Gulf War in 1991. It is contended here that the limitations on bureaucratic politics within the second Bush…
The EU–Nato Relationship
To neither use them nor lose them
After having been at the forefront of NATO strategy, policy and controversy during most of the Cold War period, nuclear weapons appeared to have faded almost completely from the scene by the end of the 1990s. Notwithstanding this perception, it is argued in this article that, despite being greatly reduced in numbers, they have continued to fulfil a number of key roles for NATO member states. The main factors identified and discussed in this conte…
The Kosovo Crisis and the Evolution of a Post-Cold War European Security
This book looks at the legacy of the 1998-99 Kosovo crisis for European security affairs. It examines the debates about the nature and justification of intervention in the affairs of sovereign states. It also considers the impact of the crisis on NATO and on relations between western states and Russia both during and since Kosovo. Well-known 'facts' are critically assessed and challenged. The authors argue, for example, that the NATO attacks on S…
In a Box in the Corner'? Nato's Theatre Nuclear Weapons, 1989-1999
NATO's theatre nuclear weapons policy and posture underwent three distinct phases of evolution during the period 1989-1999. During 1989-1991, nuclear controversy was a dominant theme, with the particular focus being on the possible deployment of new short-range nuclear systems. This controversy was defused in 1991-1992, largely as a result of US initiative. Thereafter, NATO policy and posture evolved into one of 'existential deterrence plus'. The…
Russia, Nato and the EU in an era of enlargement
The European Union and Nato enlargement debates in comparative perspective
The end of the Cold War has led to growing pressures on the European Union and NATO to open up membership to the emerging democracies of East‐Central Europe. Following an initially cautious response to events in the region, both have developed enlargement policies, albeit in an ambiguous manner. Although there are no formal links between the two enlargement processes, it is argued in this article that ‘incremental linkage’ has occurred. Furthermo…
At arm's length
For most of the Cold War, NATO and the UN were at arm's length. The two organizations diverged fundamentally in their security priorities and their preferred means for achieving international stability. The attitudes of Western governments to the question of the institutional relationship between the North Atlantic Treaty and its supporting organization and international security goals laid down in the UN Charter are revealed in declassified US g…
