Specifically

,

we

methodologically

analyzed

the

latest

three summits communiqués issued by the Heads of State and Government participating in the NATO meetings and the press conferences issued by the NATO Secretary General as follows: NATO Summit Warsaw (8-9 July 2016) (hereinafter S1_W); NATO Wales Summit (4-5 September 2014) (S2_W)NATO Chicago Summit (20-21 May 2012) (S3_C)

CONTENT ANALYSIS IN THE MASES AGENDA RESEARCH

MASES AGENDA= MASES A1+MASES A2In the MASES analysis, we analysed the PeS, SeC, ReC and SOTI topics (MASES AGENDA 1) using their conceptual coverage and for sub-topics (MASES AGENDA 2) we used a “ranking system” for the conceptual coverage grading from 1-5

Further, we surveyed the main topics and sub-topics to explore the trends issued to safeguard the shared security of the Alliance in accordance with the international law. In so researching, we embodied S1_W, S2_W and S3_C official

texts

such

as:

declarations

,

joint

statements

and

press conferences on a conceptual matrix on the security and strategy agenda (entitled MASES Agenda) linking four topics aimed at revealing the transatlantic nexus as follows: peace and security (Topic 1: PeS); security consultation among NATO members and Allies (Topic 2: SeC); resources and capabilities (Topic 3: ReC); sovereignity and territorial integrity (Topic 4: SOTI) to suggest why the NATO Summits final declarations are vital moments for the Euro-Atlantic security frames.

Categorization of the Sub-topics in the Summit declarations according to:The following indicators are intended

to cover the focused scope of the S1_W, S2_W and S3_CStatus of peace and security (Topic 1: PeS); Approaches to security consultation among NATO members and Allies (Topic 2: SeC);

Perspectives

on

resources

and

capabilities

(Topic 3:

ReC

);

Regard

on the sovereignity and territorial integrity (Topic 4: SOTI) to suggest why the NATO Summits final declarations are vital moments for the Euro-Atlantic security frames.

Ranking types of the sub-topics from “highly used” → “standardized

interposition”Using these results, we categorized

the

Summit

topics

of

the

analysis

into five categories from “highly used” to “standardized interposition”Rank 1: Highly used, with

Conclusions MASES findings demonstrate that the security frameworks were invariably challenged by

the sources of stability and the responsibility of the decision-making processes. These results challenge the need for security assurance of the Allies and the coherence claimed by the

Alliance

as

inner

tasks

of

its

Strategic Concept.

We

confer

how these basic demands for security policies and close partnership are committed to respond to the multi-dimensional threats.MASES AGENDA 1MASES AGENDA 2MASES AGENDA
