    Revisiting NATO’s stabilizing role in south-eastern Europe: the Cold War experience and the longue durée
    in Southeast European and Black Sea Studies , vol. 12, n. 4, Special Issue: Greece and Turkey in NATO ,  2012 ,  515-531
    Balkan post-war animosities involved the osmosis of Cold War cleavages with older regional/nationalist disputes. By providing for deterrence and for the integration of Balkan affairs in a global context, NATO played a major role in discouraging territorial claims between Greece and Turkey on the one hand, and Bulgaria on the other. By the 1970s, the Cold War enemies of the Balkans were firmly on the path of détente. Ironically, NATO was less successful in facilitating a definite reconciliation between its two members, Greece and Turkey, although arguably it also contributed in averting a bilateral clash.
