DESCRIPTION:The Moynihan Institute's Center for European Studies presents h
 istorian Grey Anderson. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) can 
 claim with justification to be the most successful military alliance in hi
 story. No other pact has marshalled such awesome destructive powers\, and 
 few have proved so enduring. But what is NATO? For its partisans\, the all
 iance ensures collective defense\, upholds values\, and links Europe and N
 orth America in a common\, trans-Atlantic community. Yet these are not NAT
 O’s only\, or even primary functions. From its inception in the aftermath 
 of the Second World War to the first decades of the 21st century\, the Atl
 antic Alliance has variously served as guarantor of member states’ interna
 l order\, instrument for asserting U.S. hegemony overseas\, and platform f
 or expeditionary warfare. A review of this history illuminates the balance
  of change and continuity over time and helps to contextualize the role of
  NATO in the outbreak and conduct of the ongoing war in Ukraine.&nbsp\;Gre
 y Anderson holds a Ph.D. in history from Yale University. He is an editor 
 at Verso and New Left Review.&nbsp\;
