Beginning with the landslide political
changes in Europe in the early 1990s, politicians and military
planners started to contemplate the possible effects on military
postures. Most countries, however, did not enforce plans for
post-Cold War reform because they lacked political will and money,
their conservative militaries resisted, and they felt no real
pressure from any clear and present threat. September 11 was seen
in many cases as a loud wake-up call, but nonetheless it did not
elicit a clear response. Even in the United States, where calls for
defense reform were the strongest, real defense reform seems to be
another casualty of the terrorist attacks. Fortunately, debates
have begun about the future of military forces, the "revolution in
military affairs," and the plans for NATO and European security and
defense cooperation. Whether these initial discussions will lead to
real strategic thinking, to threat analysis, and finally to a
meaningful strategic review is uncertain. This publication serves
as a timely contribution to the debate on determining which lessons
have, and have not, been learned while suggesting possible courses
for the way ahead. |
