The article should point out the background for Norway’s approach towards transformation of NATO. Is it in the best interest of Norway to support and contribute to the NATO’s development at the beginning of XXI century? The Norwegian strategy towards NATO is an expression of national political and military aspirations, so, the motives of the Norway to create new shape of Alliance military cooperation must be touched upon. The fact that Norway is so firmly anchored in NATO’s structures constitutes an important factor for state’s security policy – strategy.
