Abstract

This paper refers to the dynamics of collaborative partnership in the military and defense sector based on NATO strategic documents against the background of rethinking the global and regional security architecture, increasing hybrid threats, and the trend of strategic autonomy among national subjects. The author proposes examples of collaborative partnerships for representing the transition from multilateralism and multilateral international structures to minilateralism or multi-minilateralism by concluding bilateral agreements in the chosen vector. Ukraine is considered an alternative model of a regional security platform through the coalitions and agreement signing in the security dimension.
