POLITICAL SCIENCE- NATO

            Fifteen years ago in the Summit in Rome, NATO started its post-cold war revolution as they also implemented a new planned approach. By then, the cooperation had not started their process and for many years now, it has been known that the trending irregularity in the military supremacy between America and its NATO associates a serious predicament in the transatlantic security connections.  The partners who would not associate on military basis, they risked political divisions as well.  Thus retaining those associates and their capability meant meaningful partnership to the usual operations which maintained a main chance.  The past events proof how the military revolution in its own is not enough (Sandler& Hartley, P23). 

            For instance the transformed character of NATO, its new missions and the new foundation of the security that needed the associates to approach NATO and the revolution in a more complex way. If the association wanted to sustain its role as the main structure for the intercontinental management and the common exploit, it required to balance its military revolution with a huge move towards the more frequent political debate.  This means that NATO needs to be more based on the political issues.  There were two steps that were founded by NATO which led to an increasing demand on the operational involvements in and outside Europe.  They also founded a design of the ever closed political and the active cooperation between the NATO and the United Nations.  This was based by the decisions made by the NATO ancient ministers in 1992 where NATO would prepare to support the peacemaking actions under the UN Security Council consultant (Sandler& Hartley, P27). 

            Currently, the processes used by NATO on its political and military revolution are closely linked.  These operations have become the main mover for the enduring adaptation of the NATO’S military skills in their planning and consultation processes.  During this era, the political and the military revolution demonstrated through the growing partnerships and the growth of the expeditionary forces such as the NRF which has contributed widely to the capability of the Associates to play a role to the efforts based on the global peace and protection.  Not many people in Rome would have thought that the cooperation with its unmatched knowledge in processing the main missions that would be so widely committed later in Europe.  Many of the NATO’S growing processing roles showed the shift in the global events rather than some inside grand design (Sandler &Hartley, P34). 

            The main reason as to why NATO’s processes and their revolution have developed since the Summit in Rome where such flexibility is rooted under the political and the military engagement which was founded since 1949.  The bequest of the partnership will continue providing the motivation so as to address well the operational and revolutionary challenges.  The NATO’S involvements in the war in Bosnia in 1995 and in 1999 had an enduring effect on the post-cold war nature of the cooperation where it defined the limits of the common actions on the external boundaries of the NATO’s traditional collective defense promise. These operations helped in the foundation of a plan in the political and the military operations between the NATO and the non-NATO partnering nations that had turned to be the huge NATO’S processing cooperation.  The operations that were in Balkans also influenced the transformation of the NATO’S control plans (Sandler &Hartley, P38).

            The new NATO military structure was approved in the Prague Summit in 2002, where it emphasized on the components and the military plans which were designed to carry out the operations that were not involved in the defense commitments.  The need of advancing the connection between the NAC led in the 1996 to the foundation of a new system on the provision of the political and military engagement for managing crisis.  Currently in the connection with the Military group, the PCG plays a good role in the military council based on the NATO operational involvements where the military group and the NAC are devoted to the management of the plans.  These operations in Balkans influence heavily the revolution of the NATO’S command and the control arrangements.  The current NATO management plan and the Prague summit in 2002 put a lot of emphasis on the joint commands where it reflected the lessons that were learnt from the command plans and for the management operations that has developed with time. The reason for the NATO to become more political is due to its current and the future military processes (Couloumbis, P102). 

            These processes are long and short term missions that are featured by the connections between the military and the civilian actors.  These processes need NATO to have a closer connection with the other global participants and the NGOs.  This needs NATO to make their voice in the political basis that is under the aim of sustaining peace and not to be demoted to the role of just a military group provider.  The war in Kosovo was a good reminder of how fast the NATO troops would become hostages and cause unresolved political issues.  These riots in Kosovo caused the creation of the contact groups on the future of the location where the NATO had a huge political influence and to its military role.  This takes it to the suggestion that NATO needs to express their political plan to help them shape the setting based on the military operations.  The success of the NATO shows the different initiatives that promote the regional cooperation in Europe showing that the cooperation is capable of playing that kind of role.   Where NATO is involved as a cooperative security group, it was important to stay connected to the national political approach (Couloumbis, P127). 

            This is based on the NATO’s connections with its associate countries mainly those in Caucasus and in Asia.  But ii is applicable to the association for developing the connections with the nations in the Middle East where the technical military involvement can have their political influences.  The NATO’S political focus calls for a connection with the main national feature.  For the years to come, NATO needs this context by developing the excellent skills within the organization.  The other reason why NATO has a political influence is that from the revolving the institutional setting and the European Union where it happened as a personal independent military actor. The European Union has different military aspects of the most reflective institutional change based on the security community since its foundation.  This shows that some of the NATO constitutes now plan them in a basis that it also covers security and performs its own communication with the Washington (Couloumbis, P133).

Conclusion

            The processes that made the cooperation are the revolution and the political basis where the interaction between the revolution and the operations are planned to become enormous and made NATO becomes more engaged in the process as they support the global crisis management efforts.   Much has been done accomplished based on the NATO revolution since the Summit in Rome.
