Abstract. The article is devoted to a new role of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Post-American world. It explores reasons why the Alliance enters a new cycle of its life, which may be branded as a steady retrenchment after a decade-long period of both geographical and functional expansion. The author examines new challenges the Alliance has faced in a time of global crisis. Austere military budgets, lack of political coherence within the transatlantic community, new rising powers and changing global political landscape – all these factors determine NATO “rolling back” policy.
