1996年,随便瞥一眼五角大楼1A 711室SHAPE联络处前的显示屏,可能会吓到一个粗心的观察者。在这一年中,在“联合奋进行动--新北约”的口号下,有一份非北约国家的名单,其中包括俄罗斯在内的18个国家,为北约在波斯尼亚的行动提供了部队。办公室两侧悬挂着16个国家的国旗,沿着着欧洲盟军最高司令部过去和现在的彩色照片。他们代表了旧的北约。那么,从华沙条约组织的前成员国到阿拉伯联盟的现任成员国,一系列新国家的加入,是否象征着北约的“扩大”,而不需要经历正式成员国的痛苦过程?他们的出现是否意味着旧联盟的新职能?可以想象,这两种变化都在发生,后者是公开的,前者是秘密的。
A casual glance at the display in front of the SHAPE Liaison Office in Room 1A711 of the Pentagon in 1996 might have startled an unwary observer. Throughout the year, under the slogan of 'Operation Joint Endeavor – the New NATO', there was a list of non-NATO countries, eighteen including Russia, contributing forces to NATO's operation in Bosnia. The flags of sixteen countries flanked the office, along with colour photographs of Supreme Allied Commanders Europe, past and present. They represented the old NATO. Did then the inclusion of a host of new nations, from former members of the Warsaw Pact to current members of the Arab League, symbolise a NATO ‘enlargement’ without going through the painful process of formal membership? Did their presence signal new functions for the old alliance? Conceivably, both changes were taking place, the latter openly, the former clandestinely.
