Why NATO Endures examines military alliances and their role in international relations. Wallace J. Thies argues that NATO marks an important departure from all pre-1939 alliances, whose members viewed their alliance partners with suspicion and rivalry. In contrast, NATO's democratic members have formed a mutually supportive alliance fostered by a need for one another's approval in conducting foreign policy, which allows NATO to endure.
