security environment wel coming new members and developing new types of partnerships with non nato members in 1999 poland hungary and the czech republic were added to nato according to olson these three newest members were added because of the strong democratic control in their governments he added however that nato is cau tious about over-expanding membership any action taken by nato requires the full consensus of all 19 members explained olson for this reason a large membership would be inefficient and impair nato's ability to take action olson said that despite limiting its membership
