Article Abstract:

Article Abstract:

The East Central Europe faces many problems which are fundamentally different from those that affected Europe after the Second World War, thereby enabling the NATO to function again. The ideological and military questions do not concern Europe now and the only two existing institutions, the European Union and the NATO, show that the new democracies have to be embraced.

Article Abstract:

The expansion of NATO in the Caucasus and Central Asia could cause potential problems because of a lack of collective political guidance. There is confusion between national policies and those of NATO giving rise to concern that such vagueness is detrimental to all parties and could give rise to aggressive conflict.
