NATO’s New Strategic Concept in 2010

At their Summit meeting held
on November 19-20, 2010 
in Lisbon, NATO leaders 
adopted a New Strategic 
Concept, which identifies the central 
features of the new security environment
as well as providing guidelines for the 
further adaptation of its military forces. 
During the Cold War period, NATO 
issued a total of 6 strategic concepts,
followed by another two during the 
immediate post-Cold War period. The 
objective of adopting a New Strategic 
Concept was to set a wider framework 
for NATO’s future actions and also 
establish corresponding strategic principles
so that NATO will be better equipped to
respond to a changing security environment
and deal with new security issues that are
likely to emerge in the future.
A number of new security issues that
have been emphasized in the New 
Strategic Concept include those threats that
are no longer constrained by geographical
distances. The current situation on the 
Korean Peninsula has shifted the focus 
of the Korean government to conventional
security issues, which gives the greatest 
weight to the territorial defense of its 
nation. However, the Korean government
should also pay considerable attention to
those unconventional security threats since
they could exert influence on the security
of the nation. Considering Korea’s trade
volume, current level of information 
technology as well as personal exchanges,
the country is also exposed to the risks 
of piracy, cyber-attacks, and terrorism. 
In this context, the Korean government 
should devote greater attention to Korea’s
unconventional security challenges and 
continue to seek for ways to respond to 
those challenges by extracting lessons 
from the activities of NATO that have 
been responding to the 21st century’s new 
security challenges.
