Abstract

ABSTRACT The Consequences of the Crimea Crisis on the Modern International System: A Study Applied to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization The present work aims to analyze the changes in the Modern International System, specifically in the post-Crimea crisis period in 2014. To achieve the proposed objective, through bibliographic research and data analysis, the study reports the ongoing transformations. The theoretical foundation highlights the main theories of international relations, with an emphasis on Liberalism and Realism theories; the interpretations of these theories regarding the Crimea Crisis; and the history of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, focusing on the strategies adopted. In the analysis phase, post-2014 data were examined, and interpretations of recent transformations in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization were made. The data analyses and interpretations support three recent changes in the organization, namely: 1) The alliance approved a new Strategic Concept, establishing deterrence and defense; crisis prevention and management; and cooperative security as its main tasks; 2) Continuation of the alliance's expansion into Russia's sphere of influence, establishing a "belt" of protection for Europe against Russia. This expansion was accompanied by an increase in military units in these areas and intensified military exercises; 3) Increase in defense spending, with the alliance accounting for more than half of global defense expenditures.
