Poskytovanie národnej a medzinárodnej obrany a bezpečnosti v dôsledku dopadu globálnej finančnej krízy
Providing National and International Defence and Security under the Impact of Global Financial Crisis

Summary/Abstract: Since the end of the Cold War and the bipolar division of the world into two antagonistic pacts - Warsaw Pact and North Atlantic Pact, the global security situation has noticeably changed. The significant changes in the global security environment have brought, besides a lot of positives, also a number of deformations, which have gradually started to assume the form of various asymmetric security threats. Occuring against the background of globalisation and ongoing global financial crisis, the emergence of new military and non-military threats is directly linked to the growth of requirements for national defence and security. As a result, national defence security, independence, sovereignty, combined with the protection of citizens' lives and property, belong to the basic roles which every state still needs to fulfil. For this reason, the author of this article deals with new security threats and changes in global security environment, analyses the trends in the area of financial support of national and international defence and security under the negative circumstances of the global financial crisis, and simultaneously, points out that budget reductions of NATO defence ministries may result in the weakening of the defence capabilities of the entire Alliance, thus making the entire society more vulnerable.
