Summary/Abstract: 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.
