NATO'S ROLE IN THE
MIDDLE EAST SECURITY SECTOR REFORM
When: Feb. 23, 2006

Co-sponsor:
The Henry L. Stimson Center

This event is by invitation only.
Nato's Role in the Middle East Security Sector Reform
Overview:
In light of today's ever changing world, NATO continues to redefine itself identifying new roles, seeking consensus among member states. Building upon the success of the Partnership for Peace program in Eastern European and former Soviet republics, the 2004 Istanbul Cooperation Initiative (ICI) creates a framework for NATO to support security sector reform in the Middle East. This one-day workshop will discuss the key policy and operational issues that NATO and the U.S. military will face with regard to the ICI, developing practical recommendations and solutions.

Through focused working groups, participants will analyze NATO's experiences in other regions; define NATO's new roles with respect to the ICI; consider the reactions and responses from the Middle East; and building a way ahead for NATO, Europe and the United States.
