American musician, songwriter, arranger, record producer, radio disc jockey and actor Steven Van Zandt stated in his interview 'Band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It's like a highly specialized army unit, or a winning sports team. A unique combination of elements that becomes stronger together than apart' (Zandt, 2003). Let's start with the fact that NATO was originally created not only for the purpose of containing the Soviet Union, but also it was used as an instrument for cooperation with key European countries and also to prevent the resurgence of Nazism and to ensure the growth of the political integration of Europe.

The two era’s main objectives remain relatively stable, while the means of reaching them have drastically shifted.

In an asymmetrical alliance, an alliance in which there is a large difference in the relative power of its members, the desire for control tends to drive the actions of the greater power. The subordinate member, meanwhile, seeks to maintain the benefits it receives from the larger partner while gaining some say in the actions of the alliance as well. Although surrendering some freedom of action is generally a requisite condition for the subordinate partner, the less powerful nation will attempt to use any leverage it can find to maintain as much freedom of action as possible. These goals are apparent in the NATO alliance, both during and after the Cold War, in the actions of both the greater power (the United States) and the lesser powers (the

International relations is the study of the political and social interaction of state, non-state actors, and individuals. It is a universal descriptor used to emphasize a multifaceted and multidisciplinary subject area. There are contesting theories which seek to simplify and describe the contemporary world of international affairs.

Realism mentions about human behavior and the nature of the international system that practice ‘self-help’ to ensure the state’s ‘survival’ by means of power.

The Impact of the Cold War Can you imagine a war that lasted nearly 50 years and was the cause for many developments in military and technology, but contained no fighting or battles? That war is the Cold War. The Cold War was a conflict between the world’s two superpowers at the time that was a power struggle between them and resulted in many technological advancements and a major arms race, though it never reached a point of actual armed combat. It began after the end of World War II, in 1945, as a result of tension created during the war, and lasted a bit over 45 years, ending in 1991. The two main contenders in the war were the United States and the Soviet Union, though some other countries, such as Cuba and Turkey, were also involved.

The end of the Cold War marked the conclusion of a great geopolitical and ideological struggle between the United States of America and the Soviet Union. The manner in which the war ended was historically unusual and unlike any other before it. The bipolar nature of the international system - which had defined the war - ended peacefully. Furthermore, unlike after previous wars, the international system - or, at least, the main pillars of that system - were not overturned. In fact, as I will argue in this essay, the world system that the United States of America created after the Second World War remained in place throughout the 1990s.

Origins and Advocates Neoliberalism is rooted in transnational scholarship that emerged in response to globalization of the 1970s. Transnationalism, or sociological liberalism, emphasizes the impact of transnational networks between state and non-state actors. Transnationalists such as Rosenau and Burton believe that with increased interaction across borders, military force as a tool of statecraft is replaced by an interdependent human society among pluralistic actors. Neoliberal institutionalists of the 1980s and 1990s, notably Keohane, constituted a state-centric analytical confrontation with the neorealist arguments of Kenneth Waltz in particular. Other examples of Neoliberal institutionalists include Ney, Krasner, and Oye, among others.

The Truman Doctrine was an American foreign policy to stop Soviet imperialism during the Cold War. It was announced to Congress by President Harry S. Truman on March 12, 1947 when he pledged to contain Soviet threats to Greece and Turkey. No American military force was involved; instead Congress appropriated a free gift of financial aid to support the economies and the militaries of Greece and Turkey. More generally, the Truman doctrine implied American support for other nations threatened by Soviet communism. The Truman Doctrine became the foundation of American foreign policy, and led, in 1949, to the formation of NATO: a full-fledged military alliance that is in effect to this day.
