摘要本文介绍了一种关于北大西洋公约组织(NATO)危机管理行动的制度记忆如何发展的争论。研究欧洲安全和国际组织的学者研究了组织学习，但尚未解释其前提条件：制度记忆。在国防预算削减导致营业额增加的背景下，尚不清楚如何获得关于战略错误的共同知识。本文认为，北约秘书处促进从业者利用非正式程序促进机构记忆，以应对现有正式学习程序的限制。这些正式程序，包括一个经验教训中心和一个经验教训数据库，无意中阻碍了从业人员提供此类知识，因为使用这些知识可能会招致声誉成本。根据北约文件和对27名北约精英实践者的采访，论文提供了实践者通过三个非正式过程分享知识的证据：人际沟通、私人文件和危机模拟。
ABSTRACT This article introduces an argument for how institutional memory of crisis management operations develops in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Scholars of European security and of international organisations have examined organisational learning, but have yet to explain its precondition: institutional memory. In a context of increasing turnover due to defence budget cuts, it remains unclear how shared knowledge of strategic errors is acquired. This article finds that the NATO secretariat facilitates practitioners’ use of informal processes for contributing to institutional memory in response to the constraints of existing formal learning processes. These formal processes, including a lessons learned centre and a lessons learned database, inadvertently disincentivise practitioners from contributing such knowledge as using them can incur reputational costs. Drawing on NATO documentation and interviews with 27 NATO elite practitioners, the paper provides evidence that practitioners instead share knowledge through three informal processes: interpersonal communications, private documentation and crisis simulations.
