NATO, Contemporary Terrorism, and National Security

Summary/Abstract: The establishment of North Atlantic Alliance has determined a continuous fight to ensure the freedom and security of its members through political and military means during the Cold War. This fight, mainly directed towards Soviet Union, remained without target after its disappearance. Accordingly, NATO had to redirect the policy and to explain the activity taking into consideration the fact according to which the Warsaw Treaty was dissolved. The fall of former Yugoslavia justified in front of public opinion the actions of the Alliance that was transformed into a force for the maintenance of peace being(or not) under UNO mandate. A new transformation of NATO occurred after September 2001 when the main direction of the policy of North Atlantic Alliance became the fight against terrorism of any kind. Nowadays, a part of NATO member states (Spain, Turkey, Great Britain) confronts in various regions (where it doesn’t exist an ethnic congestion, there is at least a minority ethnic group) with claims related to independence as regards the majority ethnic group and which make themselves heard by means of terrorist acts. These acts represent instability sources that contribute together with economic- financial, political, military, social, cultural and environmental aspects.
