Summary/Abstract: With the fall of communism and the disappearance of the principal enemy of the free world – the USSR, both the United States and its allies had hoped that the society will tailor the way to an era in which international peace and security will replace the tensions, crises and confrontations of the Cold War. But the way that the ‘90s started determined a reorientation of the position of the states, and they understood that the dissapearence of the danger that was represented by the Soviet Union and all the implications that its ambitions had on the international security didn’t make the situation easier.This is because the period in which we live is just as rich in tensions and conflicts, even if the crises situations and confrontations are not in the intensity of those in Cold War, when the danger of triggering a nuclear attack led humanity into a dramatic situation.
