Abstract

Civilisation proved to be a central concern in the deep origins and formation of the Alliance (Chap. 5), but how did that concern evolve afterwards? From its birth in 1949 to the end of the Cold War, NATO’s discourses show how the representation of civilisation, or civilised behaviour, suffered modifications through time, depending on the social priorities of given temporal periods. Across those decades, the Alliance evolved very aware of its time, consistently displaying reflexivity about its current pertinence in the world, what role it should play, what mission it should embrace. In this sense, the civilised habitus of the West was continued at the level of a democratic habitus. Ultimately, the evolution of NATO’s referent object reveals as an open process, in which both conscious and unconscious perceptions about Selfhood and time cohabit.

Skinner highlights not only how our “inherited normative vocabularies” can shape our moral and social world, as how we are capable of changing our world when we change “the ways in which these vocabularies are applied” (1999: 63).
