TO A GLOBAL SECURITY SYSTEM. UNITED NATIONS - A GLOBAL SECURITY ORGANIZATION

Summary/Abstract: The emergence of new security state actors with global ambitions and their implication in security environment at the global level could lead to an increase of the importance either of the certain states as world superpowers or of the role of middle sized states to the prejudice of international security bodies, whose solutions to the global problems proved to be more and more inefficient and whose mechanisms of implementation clumsier. Within these circumstances, the re-thinking of the UN, NATO and EU role in providing international security and promoting the interests of the member states as challenges brought out to light by the military intervention in Iraq is eloquent. Neither some other possible variants of association are excluded, determined by the unforeseeable yet global developments of phenomena as migration of the population or access to the vital resources, such as, in the case of terrorism, the Coalition of Will - a coalition of more than 35 national contingents engaged side by side with American troops in military and humanitarian operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and supported by other states diplomatically, with humanitarian actions or financially. In these circumstances of deep confusion and vast search, the United States of America distinguishes more and more as the only global power able to impose the own values as “universal values” and to manage the big problems of the world. At the same time, a revived Europe also tries to define its own identity by re-launching an old project aimed to build an unitary entity within which the nations are developing in the spirit of democratic principles of respect for human rights and provision of the social welfare.
