In the aftermath of Cold War, some realists once predicted that NATO would collapse in a short time. However, NATO have been expanding and transforming into an international institution with new members and capabilities since over twenty years ago. This article analyzes NATO's endurance in the Post-Cold War era from the perspective of neoliberalism and security governance in some parts. The first part introduces the basic concepts of neoliberalism to clarify its differences from neorealism. The second part illustrates NATO's concerns and actions of security governance and gives response to those realist's critics. The author concludes that owing to the features of international institution and soft power, NATO can still develop the function of security governance and then endure even when she faces the dissolution of the Soviet Union. |
