Nato'nun Örgütsel Değişimi, 1949-1999 Kuzey-Atlantik ittifakından Avrupa-Atlantik Güvenlik Örgütüne

1949 ile 1999 arasındaki gelişmeler göstermektedir ki NATO ilk 50 yıllık tarihinde önemli örgütsel değişiklikler geçirmiştir. Kore Savaşı, Küba füze krizi ve Sovyetler Birligi'nin dağılması gibi uluslararası güvenlik ortamındaki gelişmeler, ortaya çıkan yeni güvenlik ortamlarına uyum sağlamak için NATO'yu değişiklik yapmaya itmiştir. NATO'nun yeni örgütsel amaç ve araç tanımlamasımn son şekline bakıldığında ise, sadece uluslararası güvenlikteki gelişmeler değil, ABD-Avrupalı müttefikler arasındaki ilişkiler ile Avrupalı devletlerin kendi politik stratejileri ve bu devletlerin birbirleri arasındaki dengelerin de örgütsel değişim üzerinde etkisi olduğu görülmektedir. 50 yıllık tarihi incelendiğinde, bugünkü NATO'nun ilk kuruluş yıllanındaki NATO'dan oldukça farklı bir örgüt olduğu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Artık NATO bir "Kuzey Atlantik" ittifakı degiı, "Avrupa-Atlantik" bölgesinde güvenlik ve istikrannı sağlamaya çalışan ve bir tarafta ABD'nin diğer tarafta da Avrupa Birligi üyelerinin liderliğini yaptığı iki başlı bir örgüttür.

Organizational Change of Nato, 1949-1999: From a North-Atlantic Alliance to a Euro-Atlantic Security Organization

NATO experienced critical organizational changes in its first fifty years. The developments in the international security environment such as the Korean War, the Cuban missile crisis, and the collapse of the Soviet Union pushed NATO to make organizational changes in order to adapt to new security environments. The US-European relations and the national security and defense policies of the European allies, however, had an effect on the nature of the purposes and means adopted by the organization. Given the organizational transformations, one can conclude that today's NATO is radically different from the original alliance. Rather than an alliance founded to deter any aggression in the North Atlantic area, NATO is now an organization that aims to preserve peace and to reinforce security and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area. Besides, the European allies, that is those states that are members of both NATO and the European Union, seems to have created an organization within the organization.
