Alliance Politics and NATO Standardisation
View through CrossRef
This chapter is split into three parts. In the first I develop the main historical trajectory of the equipment standardization debates in NATO and describe how the doctrinal perspectives and battlefield interpretations of a number of Alliance partners started to coincide. In the second part, I show that there are a number of social processes buried within this narrative that help to frame the standardization debate in a particular way. In the third part of the chapter I assess the underlying rationality of the stances being taken by the various actors in NATO. This will then allow us to draw conclusions as to how power works within an alliance structure.
