Zusatztext "Herd and Kriendler have assembled a group of experts to produce a study that is both incisive and provocative. Smart and policy-relevant, the book raises tough questions about how NATO needs to adapt to our changing global security environment. A must read for anyone interested in the future of NATO and transatlantic security."-- Andrew A. Michta, Woodrow Wilson Center "This is a serious, original, and provocative work that deserves to be read widely. The book's appearance is timed to coincide with the US strategic pivot toward the Asia-Pacific. This is the right time for reflection on NATO's past accomplishments and for looking ahead. It is clear that NATO's future will not be like the past. The authors question NATO's role, purpose, utility, and scope in such a thoughtful way that the book will become a benchmark for informed speculation on the questions of global security governance in the 21st century."-- Igor Zevelev, formerly Washington Bureau Chief for the RIA Novosti Russian News and Information Agency"This book represents an important landmark in the study of international security of the new century. It convincingly demonstrates that in the 21st century NATO's future will be as much shaped by trans-Pacific as trans-Atlantic dynamics, and that the perception of power shifts and partnerships are as important as the shifts themselves. This thesis and the policy insights provided within each of the discrete chapters particularly those addressing the relationship between NATO and nuclear, energy, and cyber security will be of interest to policy and decision-makers, as well as scholars, analysts, and students, in this pivotal Asia-Pacific region."-- Wang Li, Jilin University Republic of China"The book is a timely reminder that an understanding of NATO requires both an historical update and a fresh reintroduction to the full spectrum of multiple issue areas and policy questions on the Alliance's agenda. The editors have managed to strike a fine balance here in covering the diverse fields of NATO's activities, while also focusing sharply on the essential question: what is NATO's purpose? They have done a splendid job in highlighting what is at stake in the third 'Transatlantic Bargain' concerning the future of the Alliance in a world of changing power relations and emerging new threats."-- Tuomas Forsberg, University of Tampere Informationen zum Autor Graeme P.
