Abstract
At the November 2002 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit, the western alliance invited seven central and eastern European countries--Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia--to join its system of collective security. This proverbial big bang enlargement of Euro-Atlantic security and defense had, just a few years before, been thought to be impossible. If all goes well, these new members will formally join NATO in the spring of 2004.
