1. Why students should study along with cadets?
“The comprehensive approach not only makes sense – it is necessary […] NATO
needs to work more closely with our civilian partners on the ground, and at a
political level – especially the European Union and the United Nations.”
Anders Fogh Rasmussen
The lessons learned from NATO operations […], make it clear that a
comprehensive political, civilian and military approach is necessary for effective
crisis management. The Alliance will engage actively with other international
actors before, during and after crisis to encourage collaborative analysis,
planning and conduct […]
Even when conflict comes to an end, the international community must often
provide continued support, to create the conditions for lasting stability.
Strategic Concept, Lisbon Summit 2010
