Abstract
In 1994 the United States renewed its transatlantic leadership through a strategy that affirms the American commitment to European security institutions and seeks to enlarge a zone of democratic, free-market, militarily stable states to the East. The cornerstone of this policy has been the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) which has adopted a framework for cooperation with former Warsaw Pact states through the Partnership for Peace (PfP) established in January 1994. As the NP has accelerated the discussion of enlargement, the US has increasingly supported the role of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to ease intense Russian opposition to NATO expansion. This dual-track policy is contributing to a broad concept of European security of which NATO expansion is an important, but not the sole, element in a comprehensive security architecture.
