Acknowledgements
This study was financed with a grant from the Ford Foundation's
Program on Peace and Security; There, Geoffrey Wiseman gave the
project his critical, sympathetic attention. Supplementary assistance
was provided by NATO's Office of Press and Information. In
particular, Ms Karen Aguilar, the US liaison officer, offered the
encouragement and support that enabled the research team to expand
its working meetings. We wish to thank the Institut Francais des
Relations Internationales (IFRI) for its hospitality in hosting two of
the meetings. A special word of appreciation goes to Mme Cecille
Hua-Lafevre who handled the practical arrangements.
Mr T. M. Farmiloe and his staff at Macmillan were both responsive
to the idea of publishing the project's results and the model of pro-
fessionalism in bringing to fruition this transatlantic enterprise. A
special word of appreciation goes to John M. Smith, Senior Book
Editor, and Annabelle Buckley, Commissioning Editor. Burkart
Holzner, Director of the University Center for International Studies
at the University of Pittsburgh, helped expedite that process. My
friend and colleague, Phil Williams, Director of the Ridgway Center
for International Security Studies, was a source of valuable counsel
and moral support throughout.
The burden of preparing the manuscript for publication was
handled with skill and unflagging patience by Ms Kendall Stanley,
and most especially Ms Kathy Rud.
The editor also had the dedicated help of two exceptionally able
students at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs:
Matthew Dixon and Susan Masse.
