New Wars, Globalization, and Failed States

The future of challenges for NATO related to new wars, failed states, and globalization are the subject of the emerging analyses, and the sources for them are, among others, the experience of military operations in Afghanistan and Libya. For the current and future alliance, the most geographically important places of uncertainty in this area are North Africa, the Middle East, and Ukraine. Due to the complex political, military, and social conditions, NATO must seek allies globally and regionally in the fight against security problems generated by new wars, failed states, and globalization. The military nature of the organization requires it to have soft power resources that enable the development of human capital resources in troubled regions, which is crucial for their stabilization.
