Abstract
The article aims to envision the prospects of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organisation (NATO) in light of the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Examining the historical and practical aspects ofthe issue,the starting premise
is that NATO has become an obsolete and dangerous alliance. Ever since the
end of the Cold War, marked by the collapse of socialism and the disbanding
of the Warsaw Pact, the Alliance has been in a perpetual search for new
enemies, i.e., a raison d’être, atthe expense of global peace and security. During
this process, NATO has tried to conceal its genuine interests in sustaining
American hegemony and preserving its bureaucratic existence. The war in
Ukraine is a direct consequence of NATO’s “cosmopolitan militarism” on a
global scale. The concept of a “global NATO” or “globalised NATO” lies at
the core of this study. The article presents tentative conclusions, outlining
possible scenarios for NATO’s position in the aftermath of the Ukraine War.
