For much of the last twenty-five years, NATO has focused on crisis management in places such as Kosovo and Afghanistan, resulting in major post-Cold War 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 mere rhetoric. Instead, NATO will need to address major hurdles in its ends, ways, and means if it it to succeed in shifting its emphasis back to collective defense. The book identifies those hurdles and offers several practical recommendations for how the alliance can regain its footing and more effectively safeguard Western interests in the coming years.

"The Routledge Handbook of Defence Studies provides a comprehensive collection of essays on contemporary defence studies by leading international scholars. Defence studies is a multi-disciplinary study of how agents, predominantly states, prepare for and go to war. Whereas security studies has been broadened and stretched to cover at times the near totality of international and domestic affairs, and war studies has come to mean more than just operations and tactics but also experiences and outcomes, defence studies remains a coherent area of study primarily aimed at how defence policy changes over time and in relation to stimulating factors such as changes in power, strategy and technology. This new Handbook offers a complete landscape of this area of study and contributes to a review of defence studies in terms of policy, security and war but also looks forward to new challenges to existing conceptions of defence and how this is changing as states and their militaries also change. The volume is divided into four thematic sections: Defence as Policy; Defence Practice; Operations and Tactics; and Contemporary Defence Issues. The ability to review the field while also looking forward to further research is an important element of a sustainable text on defence studies. In as much as this volume is able to highlight the main themes of defence studies, it also offers an in-depth look into how defence issues can be examined and compared in a contemporary setting. This Handbook will be of great interest to students of defence studies, strategic studies, war studies, security studies and IR."--Provided by publisher.
