Features: After the Cold War, the fate of NATO had repeatedly drawn public attention. Some predicted that with the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union, the death knell of NATO had already been sounded. Following the "9·11" incident, the United States gathered the "Coalition of the Willing" to combat global terrorism, leaving NATO sidelined for a time, prompting some to exclaim "the end of the West." However, the reality is that despite the significant changes in the international strategic landscape after the Cold War, NATO not only did not close its doors but also achieved new development. The underlying reasons are worth deep reflection. This book provides an in-depth analysis of NATO's strategic adjustments after the Cold War, its eastward expansion, and its relationships with major strategic forces such as the United States, Europe, Russia, China, and others, helping readers to reassess NATO.
