The CSCE played an important role in the victory of the Western Bloc in the Cold War and maintained its importance after the Cold War as well. However, the fact that most OSCE countries belong to NATO and the EU as well, and that the OSCE in no way figures as a deterrent power militarily, economically, or politically, resulted in the Organization losing credibility among member states. These and similar factors explored in detail in this paper rendered the future of the Organization problematic. Hence the focus of this study: what will the future hold for the OSCE? With this in mind the study begins by discussing the historical roots of the OSCE, followed by analysis of the Organization’s deployments, institutional structuring, and decisions taken since the Cold War, all in the light of the summits it has organized. The last section of the study explores the future of the OSCE and ventures predictions as to whether the Organization will survive.
