This book is the first comprehensive study of the setting up and
early development of the NATO Committee on the Challenges of
Modern Society (CCMS), or the alliance’s environmental programme.
This expansion of allied cooperation is an interesting indicator
of transatlantic relations during an era of transition and under
the impact of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger’s diplomacy. The
book discusses intra-NATO politics, the projects of the early
years and the participation in CCMS projects of non-NATO
countries – an unusual feature in the activity of a military
alliance. Environmental cooperation in NATO was part of the
changes which scientific cooperation was effecting in the
international system during the entry into the post-industrial
era. The making of the CCMS is the story of a crisis of
adjustment to the new era, of hiccups in transatlantic
relationships, but ultimately also a story of transatlantic
unity. The book will be of much interest to students of NATO, the
Cold War, international and environmental history, history of
science and international relations.
