Resume: This article explores key vectors in Russia-NATO member countries cooperation. The author examines the three main vectors: war on terror, arms control and the Afghanistan vector. Analyzing the cooperation dynamics along those lines, the author points out the positive results, as well as challenges that arise. Broader and deeper cooperation is hindered by international crises (the Caucasus crisis in 2008 and the Ukrainian crisis (2014). The methodological basis of this research consists of the systemic, structural-functional, comparative-historic, comparative-political, geopolitical and cultural-civilizational approaches, the methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, modeling and observation. Each time the mentioned world crises (Ukraine in 2013-2014 and South Ossetia in 2008) lead to a halt in cooperation, freezing of joint programs and joint institutes. However, the nature of modern threats does not let the parties walk down the path of confrontation, which inevitably leads to the renewal of cooperation along the main vectors.

Keywords: administration, politics, Russia, geopolitics, NATO, diplomacy, state, interests, values, security
