Izvanblokovske koncepcije obrane i kriza evropskog sistema sigurnosti
Non-Bloc Concepts of Defence and the Crisis of the European Security System

Summary/Abstract: The present security system, which was developed in Europe after the Second World War, is currently undergoing a profound crisis, reflected in the reproduction of insecurity at increasingly higher levels. The question of an alternative to the present system of the balance of terror, which has been imposed on Europe by the blocs, is considered from the viewpoint of the strategic options of those countries of Europe which are not affiliated to any bloc. These states have, namely, evolved autonomous systems of defence, whose mutual compatibility and at the same time dissimilarity from bloc options enables the formulation of a specific 'model', applicable to the existing European situation. This 'model' Is based on the concept of the armed people and on the strategy of territorial defence and demonstrates a series of advantages over the bloc defence models. It directly contributes to a growing sense of security and confidence in relations among states, to a diminution of military expenditures and to the elimination of the 'worth-whileness’ of using nuclear weapons, thus leading to the conclusion that constitutes an alternative to the existing bloc security strategies.
