NATO’nun Yeni Ortaklık Politikası Çerçevesinde “Küresel Ortaklar” ile İlişkileri
Relations With “Global Partners” in the Framework of NATO’s New Partnership Policy

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to discuss all aspects of NATO’s approach to global partners, as well as how the Alliance’s new partnership policy can affect relations with these countries. This article examines the implications of the change in US foreign policy for NATO and it asserts that the impact of the financial crisis on defence budgets of NATO member states and the shifting American strategic focus to the Asia Pacific region will also force NATO to focus on finding new global partners from this region where there is no possibility for Alliance expansion in the short to medium term. Clearly, in an age of austerity, and with its new partnership policy, NATO aims to focus more on developing its relations with global partners.
