AB  - The recent crisis in NATO concerning lending support to Turkey in anticipation  of a war against Iraq was no doubt a major one. And as such it was a serious blow to those  arguing for the ongoing and ever-continuing relevancy of the Alliance and its ‘successful’  adaptation in the post-Cold War era. It poses challenging and puzzling questions to the  students of NATO, the most interesting one being: Why -- after having survived the postCold War identity crisis by successfully managing the challenge of the enlargement rounds,  contributing to cooperative security in Europe through several programs, engaging in a  constructive relationship with other regional and international organizations in a network of  interlocking institutions, and extending its repertoire of missions -- was the institution  deadlocked when it was called upon to assist a member in the face of an imminent threat to its  security, which was in fact its traditional raison d’état?
