After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact which marked the end of the Cold War the security arrangements in Europe like the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) , the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (NACO) etc, all appeared to be leading to peace and CEEC security. In light of these historic events, there were many who questioned the need for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and called for the creation of new security arrangements with new leadership roles. This thesis argues that NATO will continue to form the cornerstone of stability, security and dialogue in the "New Europe”.
The argument will center on the following assertions 1) The collapse of Warsaw Pact which brought about a condition of instability in Central Europe 2) NATO has proven to be more effective than other security organizations in terms of the capability to solve and address the issues that emerged after the Cold War in CEEC. It has also become involved in security tasks beyond its original mission, which was the defense of the member states from outside attack 3) NATO remains available and will continue to be an indispensable forum in the future in order to bring stability to CEEC.The analysis in this thesis shows that NATO’s specific long-standing functions have remained remarkably unquestioned and even been reaffirmed by the system-change in Europe 1989-1991.
