EN

The purpose of this article is to analyze general framework of NATO’s response to complex, non-military crises. The study will be conducted in the context of transforming security environment. The question of NATO’s doctrines and modus operandi will be raised to examine the operational patterns in several types of non-military contingencies. The main emphasis is put on disaster relief and the NATO’s specialized unit – Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre. Its origins and selected instances of operations are followed through with the aim to explore the question of NATO’s usefulness in challenging contemporary security threats. The author attempts to prove, that due to the complex and constantly changing nature of international system, NATO still has necessary means to be crucially important, and effective actor to provide security. The paper does not contend to status of a comprehensive study, due to the extensity of subject matter. It examines one element, although, as far as author’s opinion is concerned, the one of great importance to the whole subject.
