ln the paper the whole attention will be paid to Georgia-NAT0 relations. This is so important for people and political authority. According their view NAT0 is a country's security provider which led trainings and give advice to cadets and solders. This is true while Georgia has a special military school in Sachkhere. ; Bu çalışmanın ana konusunu Gürcistan-NATO ilişkileri oluşturmaktadır. Bu ilişki halk ve siyasi otorite için çok önemlidir. Bu kesimlere göre NATO, askerlere eğitim ve tavsiyeler veren bir güvenlik sağlayıcıdır. Gürcistan'ın Sachkere'de özel bir askeri okulu olması da bunu göstermektedir.

"With the 60th Anniversary of the alliance at hand, its fate seems to be more uncertain and unpredictable than ever. While some commentaries already foresee the end of NATO, there are others that rather portray a revitalization of the old transatlantic alliance due to the new US-administration and the return of France into NATO's military command structures. But people tend to look too closely at NATO's institutional and conceptual framework and the future risks it is -at least theoretically- intended to counter. Instead, one should focus on the member states and their relationship with other parties, because it is the capitols that define the framework for NATO's political and military action."

Post-Cold War NATO, without strategic threat, sought legitimacy in universal values, but its participation in the Kosovo conflict revealed its weaknesses. However, a number of factors are making NATO's renewal possible: the Alliance is now adapting to work in coalitions driven by interests and capabilities; it is sustained through military modernization; and it is enhanced by new global partnerships.

"NATO needs to define its global purpose if it wishes to address global threats. What is the prospect of NATO going global and how will it affect NATO's future course? In the run-up to the NATO Summit in Riga in November 2006, a debate on both sides of the Atlantic has now evolved over NATO's global engagement that touches on the very foundations of NATO's original purpose and definition. Critically, the debate is no longer about wether NATO should go 'out of area or out of business' but whether the Alliance should enlarge on a global level from Vancouver to Tokyo and Wellington. In order to place this debate into the recent historical context of the Alliance, this article examines U.S.-European security relations since September 11 within the institutional framework of NATO and, subsequently, draws conclusions for the future role of the Alliance. As the transatlantic community faces security threats of inherently global nature such as internationally organized terrorism and crime, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, collapse or lack of state structures in certain regions, and ruptures in the stable supply of energy resources, NATO will have to define its role as a global security actor if it wishes to avoid becoming a mere service provider of security."

Os últimos três anos testemunharam alterações de vulto nos assuntos internacionais. Os historiadores olharão sem dúvida para trás considerando que este ou aquele evento foi importante. Para os decisores políticos, que têm de lidar diariamente com estas preocupações num ambiente em evolução constante, a tarefa é ainda mais difícil. Neste artigo o autor procura ilustrar uma visão pessoal sobre como a NATO tem respondido a estas alterações, como é que as percepções dos aliados são frequentemente díspares em relação às dos que se encontram fora da Aliança. Procurará também comprovar como as mudanças ocorridas no domínio militar e civil e os acontecimentos do 11 de Setembro anunciaram uma nova fase de mudança, a qual poderá incutir alterações radicais na natureza da Aliança tal como a conhecemos nos últimos 50 anos. Esta é uma visão pessoal que não reflecte a posição oficial do Governo Britânico. Baseia-se antes em discussões com aqueles que se encontram no cerne do debate político e na experiência pessoal como funcionário civil no mundo diplomático e militar

While NATO transformation in an ever-changing security environment may never be complete, NATO is working on capabilities, including the NATO Response Force; a Defence Against Terrorism program; the development of Allied Ground surveillance, an Active Layered Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence program, and an initiative to create a NATO Strategic Airlift Capability. NATO's current operations in Afghanistan, training mission in Iraq, and humanitarian operations in Pakistan demonstrate that its capabilities for expeditionary operations are advancing.

In the summer of 2006, NATO's combined forces resoundingly defeated Taliban insurgents in Kandahar province; but beyond this achievement, NATO's Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) work to rebuild irrigation networks necessary for curtailing opium production, teach provincial officials about agricultural development, and the Kabul Military Training Centre trains thousands of Afghan soldiers. While NATO operations in Afghanistan are dangerous, NATO is committed to the country's security and development as a bulwark against the Taliban and other threats. Adapted from the source document.

NATO faces multiple challenges in the near future, including the need for Allied democracies to stay united; terrorism and proliferation; relations with Muslim countries; "frozen conflicts" in Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Transnistria; fragile democracies in Partner countries such as Georgia; and the growing divergence of interests between NATO and Russia's foreign and domestic policies. With Russia's lack of an independent judiciary, attacks on freedom of the press, and growing concerns over energy security, NATO must develop a common strategy on how to promote and support democracy within Russia and its neighbors.
