Abstract
The record of US, NATO and Russian security cooperation since the years after the fall of the Berlin Wall has been mixed. Neither the United Nations system nor the European Union has emerged as an effective alternative institutional approach to the chief political and security challenges facing Eurasia. Accordingly, NATO has not been dismantled. Indeed, it has grown in scope and function to include new relationships, including some degree of partnership with both the former members of the Warsaw Treaty Organization and many of the successor states to the Former Soviet Union.
