Editorial Reviews

No proceedings publication was planned when political scientists gathered in Berkeley in the spring of 1998 for a conference on NATO enlargement, but by the end of it, they decided that too many important issues and ideas had been brought to up let scatter undocumented. The ten essays evaluate the pros and cons of enlarging the alliance, explain why it was expanded eastward, and recommend which countries if any should be offered membership in the future.
