OverviewTheorising NATO builds upon a range of theoretic perspectives to analyze the work of NATO, and its relationship to the European Union. In doing so, it addresses a gap in IR scholarship, allowing the reader to interpret the work of NATO. The book takes into account pluralist theoretic approaches, including tradition modes of realism, liberalism and constructivism, as well as newer approaches such as securitisation and risk. It focuses on how NATO's post-Cold War development might be understood and explained, thus considering the conceptualisation, purpose and future of the Alliance. Theorising NATO will be of interest to students and scholars of International Organisation, International Relations and European Politics.

Williams 10 NATO – a public goods provider Jens Ringsmose 11 Learning the hard way: NATO's Civil-Military Cooperation Jörg Noll and Sebastiaan RietjensReviewsTheorising NATO is a useful exercise, worth reading for students and scholars of both NATO and IR theory. For NATO specialists, Webber and Hyde-Price's book provides new answers to old questions - especially the ones connected to NATO's persistence in the post-Cold War era. Both Flockhart's constructivist analysis and the contribution on securitisation by Gabi Schlag (Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg) offer answers to this question that are not superficial. For IR theory enthusiasts, Theorising NATO attests concretely to the importance of theory in International Relations and provides a practical and powerful demonstration that multiple theoretical points of view can coexist and reinforce one another harmoniously, if considered with sufficient analytical eclecticism.
