Summary/Abstract: The contemporary world is very complex, dynamic and challenging. All aspects of our lives are shaped by political, economical, financial, social, cultural, environmental actions performed in various degrees by individuals, groups, nations, alliances, and/ or global organizations. The latest developments of the economical and financial events have shown us the weaknesses of the modern society arrangements, one of them being represented by the following paradox: most of the time, we are shortsighted and concerned only about present days and not about the sustainability of our current systems. This is true not only about civilian areas of the economy but also in respect to defense resources. This paper intents to emphasis the correlation between the sustainable development of a country and the defense sector based on relevant concepts, key indicators, management strategies and reasonable ways optimize the national efforts and harmonize the international efforts for development.
