SECURITY THREATS TO EUROPEAN SOCIETIES. CASE STUDY: THE CONFLICTS ON THE ROMANIAN BORDER

Abstract

The international security environment is in a state of continuous transition. Some changes are predictable and linear, whether they have their source in the objective development of the security environment or are the effect of strategies and programs. Others have unexpected qualities, of essential discontinuity, seismic and are accompanied by a significant dose of uncertainty in nature, magnitude and duration. The multiplication of new risks and threats intensifies the aspects of uncertainty and insecurity of the global environment, so that, in the vision of the next 10-15 years, the world order will look different, taking into account the fact that the new dynamics of international relations advantage the attempts of the Euro-Atlantic community which aims to build a new international balance, capable of ensuring the expansion and consolidation of freedom and democracy (CSSAS, 2004).
