Suparništvo NATO-a i Rusije te primjeri geoekonomskog i geopolitičkog nadmetanja ovih dviju sila mogu se promatrati gotovo otkad postoji NATO savez. Količina tema i analiza u sagledavanja i istraživanja ovih odnosa je neiscrpna te ćemo u ovom radu nastojati obraditi samo mali segment odnosa NATO-a i Rusije. Međunarodni odnosi su područje javnog djelovanja na koji utječu brojni faktori,stoga u ovom radu navodimo samo nekoliko primjera iz novije povijesti koji pokazuju geoekonomsko i geopolitičko suparništvo NATO-a i Rusije. Također kroz nekoliko primjera rata u Siriji i Ukrajini pokazati će se novi načini ratovanja nazvani tzv. hibridni ratovi te primjeri indirektnoga i zamrznutoga sukoba.

The opposition of NATO and Russia and the examples of geoeconomic and geopolitical tendencies of these two forces can be observed almost ever since there is a NATO alliance. The amount of topics and analysis in the survey and research of these relationships is inexhaustible and in this paper we will try to process only a small segment of relations between NATO and Russia. International relations are a field of public action that is influenced by numerous factors, so in this paper we are just a few examples from recent history showing the geoeconomic and geopolitical rivalry of NATO and Russia. Also, through several examples of war in Syria and Ukraine, new ways of fighting will be shown, called the so-called " Hybrid wars and examples of an indirect and frozen conflict.
