Recommendation

NATO came to life as a defensive alliance to thwart Soviet communist expansion. Rather than declaring itself obsolete in the wake of the Soviet Union’s collapse, however, NATO began to focus on new security challenges, including cyber-defense, terrorism and human trafficking. Yet Russia’s intervention in Ukraine has partially revived NATO’s original role. getAbstract recommends this dossier by the Lichtenstein-based Geopolitical Intelligence Services (GIS) to those seeking an overview of NATO’s shifting challenges.

Take-Aways

  • The United States, Canada, and several Western European countries founded NATO to counter Soviet expansionism after World War II.
  • After the collapse of the Soviet Union, NATO spread into Eastern Europe and took on new security challenges. 
  • The new era of détente between NATO and post-Soviet Russia morphed back into a more adversarial relationship in the later half of the 2000s.
