NOI TIPURI DE AMENINŢĂRI LA ADRESA SECURITĂŢII. MECANISME INSTITUŢIONALE ŞI CAPACITĂŢI DE CONTRACARARE
NEW THREATS TO SECURITY. INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMS AND COUNTERACTING CAPABILITIES

Summary/Abstract: Once the bipolar world dissolved, the direct threats to European states security have diminished and in result the actions counteracting the threats have become closer to their hotbed. This fact meant an increased number of missions carried out by the European states both in confl ict areas and the Middle East, Asia, Africa as well as in the Western Balkans. If, until the last decade of the 21st century, traditional threats were mainly represented by territorial disputes, ethnic and cultural disagreements or resource access competition, at present, these threats not only have lost their relevance but others have risen, too, such as terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, existence of non-state actors, asymmetrical threats, violation of human rights, failed states or piracy as a form of organized crime.
