商品簡介
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was systematically involved in the politics of shaping the legal and institutional arrangements of the former Communist bloc, particularly in the area of defense, argues Gheciu (international relations, U. of Oxford, UK). These "socialization practices," frequently (but incorrectly) attributed to domestic forces, are analyzed as a form of pursuing international security by using NATO's power to construct the "common sense" of Central and Eastern European actors. The Czech Republic and Romania provide the case material for his argument. Annotation c2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
