Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade: very good, University of Wroclaw (Political Science), language: English, abstract: The theory of Neorealism, elaborated by the Kenneth Waltz, makes a relevant point in outlining the political nature of military self-sufficiency and the greening process in NATO’s member’s militaries. As it has come to be known, greening with respect to energy security is on NATO’s agenda and very few studies try to understand the theoretical process of this issue. This thesis intends to fill this gap by analyzing the process of greening and energy security within NATO through the Neo-realism paradigm. Nonetheless, this thesis argues dimensions of energy conflicts, and calls attention to self-sufficiency and anarchical structures at the foundation of Neorealism. This thesis argues this particular example of NATO shows the benefits of Neorealism in understanding the military self-sufficiently and the greening process of NATO and ultimately calling for a more thorough and constructive need to develop this school of thought and the study of this case.
