NATO-Russian Relations in the New International Security Environment
NATO-Russian Relations in the New International Security Environment

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present both perspectives on the NATO-Russian relationship through the lens of recent events as well as some official documents. Indeed, NATO-Russian relations still undergo the recalibrating process. There are, therefore, three crucial issues to be analyzed. Firstly, one should present how the international security paradigm has evolved in the last decade and changed NATORussian relations. Secondly, authors try to answer the question whether Russia is ready to face together with NATO the new type of ever-evolving challenges and threats. Thirdly, a final crucial question arises: Is NATO prepared to forge a long-lasting consensus on a common stance towards Russia, which could be labeled in short as engagement and reassurance, or will internal divisions within the Alliance remain or even grow?
