Abstract
LIMA, Bernardo Pires de. NATO and the Greater Middle East. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2010, n.27, pp.23-32. ISSN 1645-9199.
The Greater Middle East is simultaneous a key-region to NATO security interests as well as one of its great challenges. From the AfPak to the Maghreb, from Iran to Palestine, there are too many issues for the Alliance to stand aside. This article defends a strengthening of NATOs strategic focus on the Greater Middle East, but points out some shortcomings in the approach of the report Albright. The inevitability of this strategic region for Euro-Atlantic area needs to be addressed by the uncertainty of Turkish foreign policy, not only as a relevant NATO member, but also as a preeminent and determinant regional power.
Keywords : NATO; Strategic Concept Review; Report Albright; Middle East; Turkey.
