Abstract

Since the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1949, NATO relation with the Soviet Union and after also with Russian Federation might be characterized as a hostile one based on a reciprocal distrust. The tensions between NATO and Russia that have increased after Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and Russia’s involvement in the Ukrainian crisis has prompted a debate on whether NATO should further expand. O’Hanlon in his book proposes an alternative solution for a current security system. He argues that such a new approach could improve U.S. – Russia relations, preserve the sovereignty of neutral countries in Eastern Europe and provide stabilization in the region.
