Why NATO Should Return Home: The Case for a Twenty-First Century Alliance
Aug 2008, Vol. 153, No. 4
By Christopher Coker

The first was the American unipolar moment which followed the end of the Cold War. ‘Multilateral if possible, unilateral if necessary’ was Madeleine Albright’s motto. The second moment was a severe bout of what we nowadays call ‘European cosmopolitanism’ which was accompanied by the enlargement of the European Union itself.
