System transatlantycki w multipolarnym świecie i jego rola dla bezpieczeństwa międzynarodowego. Aspekty teoretyczne
The trans-Atlantic system in a multipolar world and its role in international security. Theoretical aspects

Summary/Abstract: The article points out that, in the international arena at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, there were many factors and events which resulted in the deterioration of relationships between the United States and Europe, as well as in the reduced activity and effectiveness of the trans-Atlantic community. Despite this, it is that community which continues the processes occurring in the world today, which we refer to as the building or forming of a new global order. The author posits many interesting theses, hypotheses and analytical queries which he attempts to answer at one and the same time. He claims, inter alia, that the emerging international order is clearly evolving toward a multipolar system. He attempts to answer questions regarding the Euro-Atlantic system in a multipolar world and points to related opportunities and threats to Europe, the United States, the European Union and NATO. In the author’s opinion, in a multipolar world, a Euro-Atlantic system where the leading roles belong to the United States, NATO and European Union will continue to be a guarantor of international security. However, faced with the growing Asian powers, the Euro-Atlantic system should strive to improve relations with Russia, which will remain an important player in a multipolar world.
