Summary/Abstract: The collapse of the communist regimes in 1989 and the end of the bipolar balance led to a security vacuum in the international security environment. As a consequence, the main actors started an institutional reconfiguration and a redefinition of their goals and objectives in order to meet the new threats and to ensure the national and international security in all its dimensions. Thus, after 1989, we find Romania engaged in the reforming process of the Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe, a security structure whose efficiency is often contested, but whose presence is still constant. In this context, this paper aims to identify the reasons which led Romania to focus its attention and to use its limited resources (as a consequence of the communist regime’s collapse) to actively participate in the reform process of CSCE, emphasizing, at the same time, the relevance of this structure for the national security of our country.
