Following an overview of the history & structure of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) & its role in international geopolitics, NATO's success as a instrument of international peace is evaluated using a Kantian three-pronged conceptualization of peace: democratization, codependence established through economic interaction, & joint membership in international institutions. Reasons behind Hungary's fervent desire to become a part of this "extraterritorial institution of the world hegemony"& its acceptance into NATO in 1998 are chronicled & the issue of Hungarian sovereignty vs independence is considered, drawing on an archival analysis of Hungarian reactions to NATO membership & official NATO publications. The role of the Magyar militia & its key pro-NATO position is discussed. The notion of NATO as a "process" & Hungary as a "space of opportunism" is also explored. References. K. Hyatt Stewart

Although H. G. Adler wrote extensively on the Holocaust, his voice has been excluded from the discussion of the Holocaust following Adorno's pessimistic analysis. The reasons for this exclusion lie in Adler's aesthetics, ethics, & method, examined here based on his biography, his works, the Adorno-Adler correspondence, & the way in which scholars treat other voices in their books on the topic. Against Adorno's fallacy of negativism, Adler argued for the sovereignty of ethical values, human rights, & democracy. His poetry during his time in the concentration camps shifted to an inner perspective & a protest against inhumanity. His method in examining the Holocaust -- scholarly documentation, an objective style, intellectual analysis, & an ethical viewpoint -- was highly unfashionable in British & American sociology at the time. Adler's novels Eine Reise ([A Journey] 1962), Panorama (1968) & Die unsichtbare Wand ([The Invisible Wall] 1989), all representing Auschwitz but with complementary methods, are discussed. M. Pflum
