Abstract

Sjevernoatlantski ugovor potpisan je 4. travnja 1949. godine, a njime je osnovan najuspješniji
vojni savez u povijesti. NATO je od tada prošao niz transformacija kako bi što bolje mogao
ispunjavati političke i vojne ciljeve radi kojih je nastao. Osnovan je na početku Hladnog rata s
ciljem očuvanja kohezije među zemljama zapadnog svijeta i zaštite njihovih vrijednosti od
širenja komunističke ideologije dalje na zapad. Nakon pobjede u Hladnom ratu Savez nastavlja s
djelovanjem te prerasta u organizaciju za očuvanje mira, sigurnosti, ljudskih prava i
demokratskih vrijednosti diljem svijeta. U današnje vrijeme NATO se ponovo nalazi pred
prekretnicom te mnogi očekuju novu transformaciju. Hoće li ona predstavljati integraciju ili
degradaciju, proširenje ili povlačenje ostaje za diskusiju. Hrvatska je svoj put pronašla u okviru
Saveza kojem je pristupila 14 godina nakon pobjede u Domovinskom ratu. Članstvo u NATO-u
je golem uspjeh za Hrvatsku koja mora nastojati pronaći svoje mjesto i boriti se za razvoj i
napredak u okviru zapadnog svijeta kojemu pripada. U tom radu će joj uska suradnja s ostalim
članicama Saveza biti od velike koristi.

Abstract (english)

The North Atlantic Treaty was signed on April 4, 1949, and established the most influential
military alliance in history. Since then, NATO has undergone a series of transformations in order
to better meet the political goals of its members. It was founded at the beginning of the Cold War
with the aim of preserving cohesion among the countries of the Western world and protecting
their values from communist ideology spreading further west. After the victory in the Cold War,
the alliance continued to operate and grew into an organization for the preservation of peace,
security, human rights and democratic values around the world. Nowadays, NATO is once again
facing a turning point when many expect a new transformations. Whether it represents
integration or degradation, enlargement or withdrawal remains to be discussed. Croatia found its
way by joining the alliance 14 years after winning the Homeland War. NATO membership is a
huge success for the Republic of Croatia, which must strive to find its place and fight for
development and progress within the Western world to which it belongs. In this task close
cooperation with other members of the alliance will be of great benefit.
