4: Politics & Organisation Other Information:
Chapter 4: Political and Organisational Issues -- Background: Since 1999, the Alliance has almost doubled in size, confronted
a number of new dangers, engaged in operations more distant and complex than any previously attempted, lived through a severe
international economic crisis, and established political dialogues and partnerships that extend far beyond the Euro-Atlantic
region. Not surprisingly, these rapid changes have been accompanied by considerable internal strain. The new Strategic Concept
allows the Alliance to take stock of recent events and to search for a fresh consensus on issues that are central to the future
management and direction of the organisation. These issues include: * Lessons of Afghanistan * Guidelines for missions outside
Alliance borders * Administrative reforms * Decision-making procedures * Open Door Policy * NATO's role in conventional arms
control
