(Author)Description:For Much Of The Last 25 Years, Nato Has Focused On Crisis Management In Places Such As Kosovo And Afghanistan, Resulting In Major Changes To Alliance Strategy, Resourcing, Force Structure, And Training Re-Embracing Collective Defense --Which Lies At The Heart Of The Treaty Of Washington's Article 5 Commitment-- Is No Easy Feat, And Not Something Nato Can Do Through Rhetoric And Official Pronouncements Nonetheless, This Shift Is Vitally Necessary If The Alliance Is To Remain The Bulwark Of Western Defense And Security Russia's Illegal Annexation Of Crimea And Its Invasion Of Ukraine Have Fundamentally Upended The Security Environment In Europe, Thrusting Nato Into The Spotlight As The Primary Collective Defense Tool Most European States Rely Upon To Ensure Their Security Collective Defense Is One Of The Alliance's Three Core Missions, Along With Crisis Management And Cooperative Security It Is Defined In Article 5, The Most Well-Known And Arguably Most Important Part Of Nato's Founding Treaty, Which States: The Parties Agree That An Armed Attack Against One Or More Of Them In Europe Or North America Shall Be Considered An Attack Against Them All Although All Three Missions Are Vital To The Interests Of Nato's Many Member States, Collective Defense Has Become First Among Equals Once Again However, Three Very Significant Hurdles Stand In The Way Of The Alliance And Its Member States As They Attempt To Re-Embrace Collective Defense These Loosely Correspond To An Ends-Waysmeans Construct First Is The Alliance's Strategy Toward Russia Is Russia An Adversary, A Partner, Neither, Or Both?
