Summary/Abstract: Technological developments and globalization have created new interdependencies between the systems that are vital for societies’ well-being: its critical infrastructures . If previously countries were preoccupied with the early, local infrastructures such as transportation or communication, today’s modern societies work with fast, global and digital connections in all major infrastructures - from energy distribution and finance to public health. This highly evolving context brings new challenges (both threats and opportunities) that shape the way security and stability of critical infrastructures should be ensured at national and international level. This paper aims to offer an overview of Romania’s status on the protection of its national critical infrastructures, as well as its relation to international initiatives on this topic. It does so by analyzing the definition of critical infrastructures and how they evolved in particular international contexts, as well as as the unique characteristics of the Romanian context.
