L'Otan a été conçue, à l'origine, pour défendre l'intégrité territoriale et la souveraineté politique de ses Etats membres. Depuis la fin de la guerre froide, les Etats membres de l'Otan ont élargi les responsabilités de l'alliance à la gestion des crises. La Bosnie et le Kosovo ont eu valeur de test pour l'Otan, en tant qu'organisation de gestion de crises. ©Electre 2024
Bosnia and the Kosovo Campaign have been the first two tests of NATO's new mission of crisis management, and the Alliance made several mistakes that call into questions its suitability to manage crises. Most damagingly, NATO failed to use force effectively. Political leaders did not identify objectives or develop a strategy for using force to achieve them. Both political and military leaders failed to ensure that the means were sufficient to achieve Alliance objectives. Nato also has structural impediments to effective crisis management. However, nato has three unique advantages : it builds consensus among the major Western democratic governments ; has no peer in planning and conducting multinational military operations ; and ensures U.S. participation. These make NATO a likely participant in managing European crises, provided that NATO governments - and partculary the U.S. government - improve on the record in future crises and use military force more effectively.
