Summary/Abstract: In the last decade of the 20th century we were whiteness on global political dramatic changes . At the beginning of 90’s, Warsaw Treaty dissolution , fall of the communists’ totalitarian regimes and Soviet Union were predictable, but they were happen much quickly. Less predictable were their consequences on varied fields, especially on politic-strategic plan, forces rapport and region states security. Now, US hegemony is unique in expansion and character and the US status as a first world power is unlikely to be contested by any individual power . World geopolitical situation is very different than the one existent on several decades behind. Social, economic, scientific, demographic, ecologic evolutions are very different too and the regional and global security state is totally changed in the last decade of the 20th century. The beginning of the 21st century opens a new era in international politics, where security and competition for affirmation and consolidation of the new actors in world power game fill the central place for world evolution determination and new global order settlement . In Europe, Germany and France will continue to be major actors, enough powerful and reliable for exert an influence into a much larger region. In addition, in their vision these states are justified to represent the European interests in relations with Russian Federation, Germany sustaining “the great option of a special bilateral engagement with Russia”.
