Abstract

We try the best to scrutinize the process of cooperation and especially the convergence between Russian and North Atlantic treaty based on constructivism theory. Both sides have continued the enmity after terminating Cold war and collapse of Russia, despite of change in international structure and patterns. Both sides could have solved common needs and problems through more cooperation and collaboration. They embarked on cooperation after the terrorist incident on Sept. 11, 2001. Theoretically, the important factor of this process is to spread functionally structured ideas in international relations and to challenge realism ideas that have already dominated over theorizing process and analysis of international relations.
