Introduction: on wars: 'Good' and 'Bad' -- NATO in an Age of Risk -- Empires of liberty -- The hedgehog and the fox: Euro-American Visions of 9/11 -- Soldiers of misfortune -- International (Dis)Organization -- Empire lite -- NATO, Afghanistan and security in a networked world -- Epilogue: revisiting the liberal conscience.
The Good War tackles the issue of NATO in Afghanistan, exploring NATO's evolution in the 1990s and blending NATO's transformation from a reactive defense organization into a pro-active risk manager with the ethic of liberalism. It raises questions, such as why an alliance built upon the territorial defense of Europe ended up in Afghanistan.
