Abstract

What are the deepest implications of this new historic era for NATO’s civilisational referent? Within its post-Cold War reinvention, NATO’s identity has remained essentially the same regarding its representations of time. The Alliance’s constant will to adapt to, and awareness of, change shapes expectations and dispositions (habiti) about what NATO is willing to do to protect North-Atlantic communities from whatever unknown threats. Those new forms of socialisation consist of new ways of behaving for partners and candidates to membership, as they also entail new interdependent relationships. The willingness to belong to NATO as a security community draws on the symbolic power of past memories and the fear of the loss of love as an ontological need for security. As a consequence, post-Cold War NATO set new rules of civilised behaviour, so that civilised identities could be attuned, developing into a civilising security community.

The notion of a “risk society” was originally formulated by Ulrich Beck in Risk Society: towards a new modernity (1992), who explained that in consequence of industrial societies moved by progress, wealth accumulation, unlimited possibilities, there are now ecological, financial and technological risks threatening the existence of those societies.
