Abstract

U.S. is the main military power in the world and it is far from its decline. The world is not unipolar and the recession has harmed the West. Obama takes organizations like NATO to lead the world from behind. The Alliance is vital to American security and its allies with shared values such as democracy, respect for human rights and the rule of law. The priorities of the Chicago Summit coincide with the U.S.: a safe and orderly transition in Afghanistan to defeat Al Qaeda. Capabilities adapted to the economic crisis because NATO is a collective security Alliance but also a cooperative security organization can achieve its military targets sharing structures and financial burdens. Finally, the Alliance has become a magnet that will create a hub of trusted partners to maintain global security.
