NATO: 60 Year of the regional policy

Introduction:

May 2009 was a memorable year in the history of regional policy. The alliance's military success in politics World over 60 years. Since 1945, a remarkable development taking place in international politics is the proliferation of supranational organizations and regional. In the period of the Cold War, there is a remarkable flowering of the regional agreement. As a concept of politics, means regionalism the United States and dependent areas of a regional or an association of states which are united by ties of common interests and geography. To cite Stoessinger, "is a grouping three or more States, whose objective is the formation of an entity other than political. "

The existence of regionalism in world politics is considered the form of the Greek period, with the creation of the Athenian League and V century BC. In the modern context has been given the momentum following the Napoleonic wars. But it was a little and less organized. It after the Second World War, that regionalism has been developed as a fighting force. Significantly, the Charter of the United Nations can these organizations at the regional level. Article 52 of the UN Charter allows regional agreement on collective self-defense.

In Because of the expansionist Soviet Union has presented the collective defense of Western Europe. The first step was taken by Great Britain, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. It met in Brussels (Belgium) in 1948 and signed a treaty of 50 years of collective self-defense is known as the Brussels Treaty. In fact, it was a reaction against the expansion of the communist coup. In 1955, the treaty was extended, and in Italy and West Germany joined the group and renamed it Western Union. I began. After attracting regionalism that more attention from the international community on behalf of the collective defense and later with members from seven countries have signed at Brussels Atlantic Treaty North April 24, 1949 in Washington. Under this treaty, they agree to provide military assistance as an attack against them all. It is known that organizations North Atlantic Treaty devoted to building democracy and halt the spread of communism.

The 60 years of travel:

A military alliance that has started is now the World Security in the classroom, and helped an unprecedented period of peace, freedom and prosperity for all its citizens throughout the world is approaching its 60th anniversary. It does with few signs of euphoria. It is a hard work for the maintenance of a transatlantic alliance of sovereign nations, more than six decades, remains a unique and historical achievement that deserves praise. But road was not so easy for the organization. Rather than what many falls during this period, since its inception.

More significantly during the period of the Cold War, maintained a holding pattern by opposition to military involvement is not an organization. Only in 1978, member countries formally defined two complementary for them to maintain security and to seek relaxation. This is supposed to tell the defense to match the firepower of Pact Warsaw, without stimulating an arms race over.

The end of the Cold War marked a major shift in NATO to the Soviet threat declined, indicating deliberately to increase its political dimensions. Given the objective of creating a Europe whole and free, and success comes after 17 years, when Europe as a whole is certainly more democratic division of the Cold War decreased compared.

1966 has radically changed the structure of this organization. France left the integrated military command of NATO, which is a founding member organizations through friction with the United States. However, the French contributed troops to the NATO mission and has participated in political bodies. President Nicolas Sarkozy, the French again joined the mainstream.

NATO and Russia

After the Cold War, Russia has taken part in meetings of NATO. But there comes a collapse of confidence between the two groups after the war in Georgia summer 2008. because of the meeting of the NATO and Russia has been suspended. While the EU is disappointed by Russia for its failure during the crisis, the average hourly U.S., Germany, France showed their faith in him. They gave the argument that both need the cooperation to restore confidence. In most cases, U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden offered to rest and refocus the relationship was pleasantly MEETin home and Ministers Foreign Affairs held March 5, 2009, in Brussels, decided to resume the meeting of NATO and the Russian Union as soon as possible. And success depends on the definition of a pragmatic program that can focus on solving problems rather than vague ideas and selfish mentality.

Relevance of NATO

In the context of greater benefit any form of regionalism unwelcome. Regionalism make people narrow-minded. In the present context, when all is said about the protection of human rights, when global warming and climate change threaten humanity, it is not necessary for such regional cooperation, which has been created for the purpose of collective defense in some countries. Regionalism narrow-minded people, they are incapable of thinking beyond region. At the same time the means to achieve nuclear weapons to all nations of the world compete Yes. For the opposing defense, a more regional organization will be created, which in turn make the arms race. Currently, we have seen, most of our finances invested on behalf of security and arms and ammunition procurement, which undermines the basic needs of a society such as drinking water, eradication poverty, etc. When the world faces the threat of environmental degradation in the world 852 million people go without enough food a regular basis and another 2 billion people suffer from food insecurity intermittent (SOFI 2004), it is not necessary alliances military.

Conclusion

Although the world has changed since 1949, with the emergence of Third world, NATO, because the United States still exists is the policy of the European insurance irreplaceable, not only against the resurgence of Russia, but against all potential strategic threats. The United States needs Europe to lead simply because the U.S. remains the only superpower worldwide. At the age of 60 years, NATO has become an indispensable component of world politics because of its military capability. What can one day rule the world through its military and financial power. It is time to wake up for other nations to prevent aggressive motives lead U.S. NATO. And it is the duty of people to communicate amongst themselves not to take part in preventing environmental degradation and global warming Climate and the eradication of the arms race in the world.
