NATO After the Riga Summit

Lidija Čehulić ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Every new Summit of the North Atlantic Alliance is being announced as an extremely important one not only for NATO but for the entire international security community. It is expected from NATO, as today's military strongest, numerically biggest and the most effective political-military organization of developed democratic world, to respond adequately and resolve security problems all around the international community.
Looking objectively, NATO is neither ready nor willing to be ready for that role. NATO Riga Summit, first in the history to be held on the territory of the former Soviet Union, is considered to present a recapitulation and further improvement of the set transformation lines conducted by NATO from the end of the bipolar period.
