NATO has survived until its 70th anniversary, essentially in the same condition as practically every year of its existence. According to commentators and external experts, the Alliance seems to be in a constant crisis, and every new version of the crisis is seen as final and deadly. By contrast, for those who are active internally, NATO seems stronger than ever before - it is engaging in more places than ever before, presenting new initiatives at an unprecedented pace and in ever-longer summit declarations. The problem situation presented in this way allows us to formulate the main research problem: What role does NATO play in shaping the global security system? The research problem formulated in this way consists of detailed problems formulated in the form of questions: 1) What are the current challenges for NATO? 2) What are the current threats to NATO? 3) What is Donald Trump's policy towards NATO? The aim of the presentation is to present an analysis of the role of NATO in e...

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) is the strongest and most successful political cum military alliance the world has ever known to date. Founded in 1949, the transatlantic alliance served as a bulwark for Western Europe countries from the expansion of the Soviet Union, its ideology-communism and, nuclear warheads during the Cold War. In the year 1991, the gigantic Soviet Union collapsed which marked the end of the Cold War. As the Soviet Union no longer posed a threat to NATO members, the Alliance took on new missions from conflict management in the Balkans and Maghreb, counterterrorism operations in South Asia and the Middle East, to anti-piracy missions off the Horn of Africa. At this juncture the question arising is this: is NATO a relic of the Cold War or an indispensable alliance in the 21 st century? This paper recounts the eventful history of NATO from 1949 to 2019. It also answers the question, is NATO an obsolete or relevant alliance in the 21 st century? and most importantly, it discusses at length the accomplishments and problems the Alliance faces in the post-Cold War era. These research objectives were successfully carried out using the historical approach with the qualitative method of secondary data collection. Concerning the findings in this research paper, it was discovered that NATO's achievements are being overshadowed by the plethora of challenges bedeviling it, the biggest of which is defence spending shortfall.

This book wants to provide a full and scholarly assessment of NATO's performance during and particularly after the Cold War. The guiding methodological principle is to evaluate the elements of continuity and the factors of transformation in NATO before and after 1989. The historical approach qualifies this volume among the literature on the Atlantic Alliance, largely dominated by political science and strategic studies. Good reasons justify a new book on NATO. In 2019 the 70th anniversary of the Atlantic Alliance received comparatively little attention by the general public and also by scholars. Much more attention had been dedicated in 2007 to the 50th anniversary of European Union (EU, born as European Economic Community, EEC), the other key organization

After 60 years of existence, the Atlantic Alliance remains the most reliable security organization for the Euro-Atlantic security. Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has succeeded in adapting itself to the new international scenario. Starting from the '90s, NATO has undergone a deep evolution, both in qualitative and quantitative terms. On the one hand, the Alliance transformation consisted in the update of strategic goals, the development of new military means and new partnership frameworks. On the other hand, from being an occasional choice the enlargement has turned out to be an enduring open door policy. Over the course of the last decade, it brought about the admission of twelve new members. The NATO's evolution processes implied a shift from a traditional military pact to a new cooperative organization and from a defensive posture to a new expeditionary role. The depth of these processes entailed a reconsideration of the Alliance raison d'être involving new political and security challenges. These, in turn, have implied different and in some cases contradictory responses from the Allies. The aim of this book is to assess the challenges to NATO enlargement and transformation, offering national perspectives on the Alliance's evolution. Accordingly, the analysis focuses on three different levels - old members, new members and partners - in order to provide an appraisal of convergences and divergences on NATO's changing character and responsibilities.

The war on Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022 with the invasion of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, is an event with a potential to cause tectonic changes in the current political, security and economic international order, including the possibility of a nuclear conflict. As it is the case with the other international and regional organizations, NATO too is enforced to reconsider its position in the multipolar world. The research problem of this paper is delimiting the reality from the myth of NATO that has rested for decades. It focuses on the search for the Alliance's real power in a multipolar international system, as well as seeking answers about the future of the European security order (especially through the prism of NATO-EU relations). The key hypothesis is that the course of events (in Ukraine but also the definite rise of multipolar international system) has been predictable. The reasons for the war were deeply embedded in the foundations of the hybrid international system. The preliminary conclusion is that NATO (albeit seemingly strengthened and expanded) will likely face with its irrelevance in a multipolar order. The thesis of a "global NATO" is just a veil that covers the restricted NATO mission primarily as an instrument of the US policy in Europe. Due to the Ukraine, EU (but also OSCE) is likely to see the shattered dreams of its own security system. It means it will be economically, politically and militarily completely dependent on Washington. NATO enlargement is reaching its peak, along with its primarily European reach. Globally, the United States will rely on its own forces and on alliance of the willing, now referred to as the "Collective West."

This book “Understanding NATO in the 21st Century: Alliance Strategies Security and Global Governance” provides the overview of the evolution, global security governance, alliances and future prospect for NATO. This book is mostly from U.S point of view how they look NATO and how they can use it in future. How U.S can dominate in the international affairs and how to counter the emerging superpowers. The impact of NATO created a competitive and cooperative environment at global and regional level and created a history of its own. As NATO moves into the 21st century its purpose, role and utility needs to be changed with the future situation of the world.

Public Law

The challenges of the future demand effective and coordinated action by nations with common interests. For the United States and its allies, NATO is by far the best vehicle available for organizing such action. NATO has made impressive strides toward adapting itself to the demands of a changed and changing world, but its members should recognize that neither the Alliance nor their own military establishments are yet perfectly suited to these demands. Fielding the requisite military capabilities will not come cheaply, nor will further institutional changes within NATO be cost-free. But it is well worth the effort.
