b: Crisis Management
Address crises before, during and after conflicts. Other Information:
NATO has a unique and robust set of political and military capabilities to address the full spectrum of crises - before, during
and after conflicts. NATO will actively employ an appropriate mix of those political and military tools to help manage developing
crises that have the potential to affect Alliance security, before they escalate into conflicts; to stop ongoing conflicts
where they affect Alliance security; and to help consolidate stability in post-conflict situations where that contributes
to Euro-Atlantic security. Crisis management -- NATO is adopting a holistic approach to crisis management, envisaging NATO
involvement at all stages of a crisis: "NATO will therefore engage, where possible and when necessary, to prevent crises,
manage crises, stabilize post-conflict situations and support reconstruction." It is encouraging a greater number of actors
to participate and coordinate their efforts and is considering a broader range of tools to be more effective across the crisis
management spectrum. This comprehensive, all-encompassing approach to crises, together with greater emphasis on training and
developing local forces goes hand-in-hand with efforts to enhance civil-military planning and interaction.
