Abstract
Opening the second part of the collection with its focus on changing security challenges and NATO’s new identity, this chapter will concentrate on NATO’s initial transformation in the 1990s after the fall of the Berlin Wall finally brought the division of Europe to an end. It is this decade in which NATO’s new identity — one key theme of this chapter — has progressively transpired and consolidated. The penultimate chapter by Sean Kay and Magnus Petersson with its outlook into NATO’s future is confined to the 2000s and beyond, hence complementing my chapter in terms of its temporal coverage of the post-Cold War period.
