• NATO's new missions of peacekeeping and crisis management, and the opportunity to build a new security architecture in Europe, have made fundamental changes in its structure an imperative. The Madrid Summit has provided the catalyst for work to reshape the Alliance's military posture towards smaller but more flexible and mobile forces, adapting the multinational command structure accordingly, and developing a European Security and Defence Identity (ESDI) within NATO. The new structure will also have to be flexible enough to cater for the accession of new members and deepening cooperation with partner nations. This transformation of the Alliance will enable NATO to respond to the challenges of the new century.
