Abstract

The aim is to explain why NATO adopted a new Strategic Concept in 2010. The central argument indicates that the adoption of the new Strategic Concept is related to the need to improve collective defense to ensure the set of capabilities needed to cope with new threats and the strengthening of the organization's capacity for crisis management and cooperative security, which implied the increased exchange of information, the improvement of military capabilities, the development of civilian capabilities, the expansion and intensification of political consultations among NATO members and the greater cooperation with non-members and other international institutions. In addition to proposing the expansion of capabilities for functional actions, the new Strategic Concept also highlights the importance of continuous use of rhetorical action to reaffirm the shared values and organizational cohesion.
