Summary/Abstract |
IN 2019, the NATO countries celebrated the 70th anniversary of their military alliance with great fanfare. A common theme of the anniversary celebrations and NATO leaders' related public statements, as well as the London Declaration that the leaders of the NATO countries adopted at a meeting in London on December 3-4, 2019, is the idea that NATO is indispensable to maintaining security in the Euro-Atlantic region and the world as a whole, and that the policy of resolutely deterring Russia must continue. Even though the wording of the bloc's strategy has changed as the international situation and relations with the USSR/Russia change, that key element has remained a constant, fundamental principle of all seven strategic concepts and other basic documents of the alliance throughout its entire existence.

Summary/Abstract |
THE PAST YEAR, 2009, has, without exaggeration, become very special for the OSCE a period of rethinking the situation in the European security system and the Organization's role and place in the maintenance of stability and the development of cooperation in the Euro-Atlantic region.
Symbolically, for the first time in a long period of the CSCE/OSCE's existence, the foreign ministers of 56 member states met twice at an informal meeting on the Greek island of Corfu (June 27-28) and at a session of the Ministerial Council in Athens (December 1-2). Previously, that only happened in 1991 and 1992, when Europe was going through another period of change. As Russian Foreign Minister S.V. Lavrov justly noted, "it seems that the time has come for Europe to change."
