CHALLENGES AND LIMITS IN FORMING AND PROMOTING THE SECURITY CULTURE AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL OF ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: The contemporary security environment is in a continuous transformation, being complex and dynamic. The changes that take place in this environment, due to the interests and relevance of the political actors, have societal implications. In order to defend and promote our interests in a process of accelerated globalization, cooperation is the key word. If the emphasis has always been on the cooperation between the different security and intelligence structures, the need for cooperation is also felt between institutions and the citizen by creating connections based on trust and civic spirit. The hypothesis of the article is to identify the challenges and limitations in constructing a security culture project at the level of civil society, as the natural responsibilities of each citizen, to which both entities, authorized institutions and the citizen, must contribute: the authorized institutions - by creating an ‘instruction manual’, programs, trainings, round tables, specific conferences; the citizen - by creating a set of rules, patriotic and civic, created on his own initiative. Building a solid culture of security becomes a sine qua non condition for the challenges of the 21st century. In other words, the responsibility of the citizen, through their education in the field of security, seen as civic responsibility, must be a constant concern of the state. The security of a state should no longer be the responsibility of the military and civilian institutions, but also of the citizen. We need a culture of security strongly anchored in the realities of society, promoted responsibly, both at the level of the decision-makers and at the level of the ordinary citizen, but also for the creation of communication channels through which to transfer the know-how from the institutions to society
