POLICY, STRATEGIES, STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES - A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE WEST AND THE EAST –

Summary/Abstract: This paper is the result of a between the policies, strategies and strategic military objectives of member countries of NATO and CSTO, as international organisations representing two of the major forces that shape the international security environment. Moreover, these two organisations enjoy the membership of some of the most important actors in the international relations, such as the USA, Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Italy within NATO, and the Russian Federation within CSTO. From this perspective, the comparative analysis of the strategic military objectives of NATO member countries and of CSTO member countries is an important element in the scientific endeavour to understand the complex and dynamic character of the security environment, particularly useful for policy makers in developing/updating national policies and strategies.
