This collection portrays NATO's post-Cold War bureaucracy, decision-shaping and -making at Brussels Headquarters, identifies changes therein and evaluates their implications for the pursuit of external security with accompanying shifts in the locus of governance. It does so using the analytical concept of 'internationalization' which draws upon neo-institutionalist insights: a process by which national procedures of a policy area are linked with-or shift to-international organizations and thus enhance their significance. While some chapters centre on NATO's new post-Cold War security environment or changed power structures impacting on Alliance politics, the majority of authors describe NATO's new or adapted administrative bodies, associated operational roles and political procedures, its cooperation with third-party actors, and assess associated levels of internationalization. It becomes clear that although governments evidently remain key shapers of political processes, they now face thicker institutional structures of rules and common practices which implies adaptation and changes in national policies. "In this well-crafted volume, Sebastian Mayer has assembled a distinguished group of experts to explore in unprecedented detail how NATO's bureaucracy and decision-making have changed since the cold war and with what implications for transatlantic security."- John S. Duffield, Professor, Georgia State University, USA "This extraordinary volume brings together many of the top NATO experts from both sides of the Atlantic. It covers the full range of issues, from the history of NATO to its post-Cold War evolution, the role of the Secretary General, relations with NGOs and more. Anyone who wants to understand NATO's transformation must read this book." - James Goldgeier, Professor, American University, USA "This volume offers an innovative analytical perspective on NATO. Taking the Alliance seriously as a complex institution and administration of security governance, the chapters describe important aspects of NATO's post-Cold War institutional transformation and explore their driving forces and limits of institutional development. Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how NATO works and in looking beyond the superficial debate on 'NATO's decline'." - Frank Schimmelfennig, Professor, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland "This excellent book brings together valuable and path-breaking analyses of the neglected topic of decision-making in NATO, including the Alliance's relations with partner nations and organizations." - David Yost, Professor, U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, USA
