Abstract
The end of the Cold War marked the beginning of a profound transformation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO): the introduction of new missions designed to meet the new demands in international security, the development of allied capabilities to execute these missions, and the incorporation of a dozen new allies from Central and Eastern Europe. Furthermore, NATO’s increased role in international security led to enhanced cooperation not only with its former adversaries, but also with other nations around the globe that were interested in expanding cooperation with the organization. In the course of the last two decades, NATO developed a number of partnerships with nations from the Caucuses, Central Asia, Middle East and North Africa, and even the Pacific Rim. The 2010 Strategic Concept recognized that the wide network of partner relationships with countries and organizations around the globe is intended to “further promote Euro-Atlantic security” as these partnerships make a “concrete and valued contribution to the success of NATO’s fundamental tasks."
