Abstract
It must be a new era when the secretary general of nato goes out of his way to praise a European Union summit?and when the eu s rhetoric is tougher than nato s on Russian brutality in Chechnya. Welcome to 21st-century Europe, in which nato and the eu routinely meddle in each others affairs, see themselves more and more as collaborators (and rivals) in joint business, and even fraternize in a manner utterly taboo during the Cold War. It is a Europe in which Lord Robertson, nato s secretary-general, ostentatiously com mended the eu's pledge at its Helsinki summit last December to build better European rapid-reaction forces to sup plement America's troops in the region and where, for a few days at least, eu leaders talked about imposing sanctions on Russia for its conduct in Chechnya with a severity unmatched by either the United States or nato.
