NATO’s Role in Defence Cooperation and Democratisation in the Middle East | ||
in International Spectator (The) , Vol. XXXIX, n. 4, October-December , 2004 | ||
How can NATO's rich experience with democratic security governance in Eastern Europe be used in the framework of NATO's Mediterranean Partnership - despite the problematic US-European relations regarding the Middle East and particularly Iraq. Promotion of defence reform and democratisation in the Middle East requires a common alliance strategy. Moreover, NATO will have to work with the EU on Mediterranean partnership building because cooperative defence reform can only be achieved in a sound environment of sustainable development and political reform. | ||
