Abstrakt: Cooperation and partnership are supporting elements of NATO's operation, and the Alliance has focused on maximizing the value of its partnerships, especially in the context of hybrid threats. In order to facilitate the broader network of partners, the Alliance adopted a new partnership policy in April 2011. Experts frequently challenge the success of its implementation, because of the weaknesses and inconsistencies. The paper analyzes the wide network of partner relationships and initiatives with countries and organizations at the regional and global level. The focus is on the functionality and efficiency of NATO's partnership policy and its new tools, aimed at fostering and shaping new effective relationships with potential future and existing partners. The paper gives an overview of the established partnership relations of NATO with Russia and the crisis therein. One of the reasons for this milestone between NATO and Russia are the recent Russian military interventions. The paper is intended to stimulate critical thinking regarding the implementation of the NATO partnership policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
