Abstract

Abstract : The NATO alliance worked through and overcame many difficult internal conflicts throughout the Cold War and survived-testament to the durability and political flexibility of its members. Evolutionary growing pains in NATO are nothing new. But in the late 1990s, a number of ideas, policies, circumstances, and situations arose that radically altered the basic outlook and premise of the Alliance. With Russia no longer posing a military threat to Europe, NATO now faces a new challenge brought to the fore by Operation Allied Force in Kosovo in the spring of 1999-the so-called capability gap. This paper outlines the current U.S. military capability, highlights major European policies aimed at overcoming the capability gap, and describes the current transatlantic business conditions that could play a critical role in helping to bridge the gap.
