| Description | NATO, unique among peacetime security organizations in its force requirements and integration, was predicated on the availability of German manpower and territory, and on the control of the German role in the development of a new European military balance. The launching of the Carter initiatives has led to limited resurgence and capability improvements, but these are merely phases in what is seen as the continuing decline, if not the effective end, of NATO in an era of détente, low politics, and strategic parity. Equally unacceptable to the allies would be a Federal Republic, a major military power but outside NATO or some transatlantic security grouping. The chapter focuses on the other half of the bargain: the centrality of a major German involvement to maintenance of the alliance in particular and Western security in general. Direct demands for replacement remained key, however, only in German-American relations. Successive German governments had pushed harder on standardization, albeit with tougher bargaining strategies.
