Numerous representatives of theories of international relations, security theories or alliance theories have examined the new role of the North Atlantic Alliance or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the post-bipolar world. Parallel with the theoretical examination of goals and tasks, NATO has transformed itself in practice, following the realities of the contemporary global era. In trying to achieve and keep the primacy of the strongest military- political organization, the Alliance has - especially in the Strategic Concept adopted in Lisbon in 2010-set the normative and institutional foundations of its global engagement, fulfilling the military (hard) and a wide array of non-military (soft) security challenges. This strategy has given rise to "Euro-Atlanticism", as a subsystem of international relations based on strong American-European relations, to fit with the process of regionalization of global politics. However, the 2013-2014 crisis in Ukraine has turned the focus of interest and activities of NATO once again primarily to Europe and it has stressed the importance and necessity of strengthening Euro-Atlantic security and defence ties. The most powerful member of the Alliance, the United States, is again strongly engaged in Europe and Russia, as a kind of successor to the Soviet Union, is once more detected as a major threat to European security. There have been many aspects of theories of international relations that have tried to explain the dynamic of the post-Cold War international community. However, the approach based on neo-realistic assumptions of the role of a security community, collective defence and the use of military force has proved to be dominant. NATO will continue to work on its political dimension as an alliance of the democratic world and the September 2014 Wales Summit will certainly mark the return of NATO to its roots, strengthening its security and military dimensions in the collective defence of Europe from Russia.

Given the new geopolitical challenges and threats, the EU is looking for ways to counter them by reforming its security and defence structures and achieving a high level of consolidation in their management. In this context, the construction of a common EU and NATO policy is an important aspect. It has been shown that effective cooperation between NATO and the EU is the key to developing an integrated approach to crisis management and operations that requires the effective use of both military and civilian means; thus the European Security Strategy has been an important step in the significant convergence of NATO and EU positions. It is proposed that Ukraine should agree to NATO’s proposal and adopt an “associated partnership” format, i.e. to pursue the course of possible rapprochement with NATO without formal accession. The development of autonomous European defence structures opens for Ukraine the possibility for further deepening of cooperation with the EU and parallel strengthening of defence capabilities.

Biorąc pod uwagę nowe wyzwania i zagrożenia geopolityczne, UE szuka sposobów, aby im przeciwdziałać, reformując swoje struktury bezpieczeństwa i obrony. Ważnym aspektem jest budowa wspólnej polityki UE i NATO. Europejska Strategia Bezpieczeństwa była ważnym krokiem na drodze do znaczącej zbieżności stanowisk NATO i UE. Udowodniono, że skuteczna współpraca między NATO i UE jest kluczem do wypracowania zintegrowanego podejścia do zarządzania kryzysowego i operacji, które wymagają efektywnego wykorzystania zarówno środków wojskowych, jak i cywilnych. Proponuje się, aby Ukraina w najbliższym czasie zgodziła się na propozycję NATO i przyjęła format „partnerstwa stowarzyszonego”,tj. kontynuowała kurs ewentualnego zbliżenia z NATO bez formalnego przystąpienia. Rozwój autonomicznych europejskich struktur obronnych otwiera przed Ukrainą możliwość dalszego pogłębiania współpracy z UE i równoległego wzmacniania zdolności obronnych.

The effectiveness and longevity of the Atlantic Alliance depend on its ability to adapt to the changing conditions of the international environment and the resulting threats. This is borne out by the outcome of NATO’s Madrid summit, which, in the context of Russian aggression against Ukraine, responds to the renewed threat of global war, although it does not mark a simple return to the pre-1989 era. They refer to a fundamental expansion of Alliance capabilities in NATO’s three missions: collective defence, crisis management and collective security. The increased commitment of the Alliance on the eastern flank gives credibility to the guarantees of Article 5. The new Strategic Concept adopted at the summit increases the commitments of the European allies vis-à-vis American expectations, which is deepened by its correlation with the EU Strategic Compass.

Efektywność i długowieczność Sojuszu Północnoatlantyckiego zależą od zdolności adaptowania się do zmieniających się warunków środowiska międzynarodowego i wynikających z nich zagrożeń. Potwierdzają to wyniki szczytu NATO w Madrycie, które w warunkach agresji rosyjskiej na Ukrainę są reakcją na odnowienie zagrożenia wojną światową, choć nie oznaczają prostego powrotu do czasów sprzed 1989 r. Odnoszą się do zasadniczej rozbudowy zdolności sojuszniczych w zakresie trzech misji NATO: kolektywnej obronny, zarządzania kryzysowego i bezpieczeństwa zbiorowego. Zwiększenie zaangażowania Sojuszu na flance wschodniej uwiarygadnia gwarancje art. 5 Traktatu Północnoatlantyckiego. Przyjęta na szczycie nowa koncepcja strategiczna zwiększa zobowiązania sojuszników europejskich względem oczekiwań USA, co pogłębia jej korelacja z Kompasem strategicznym UE.
