REFLECTIONS ON CONTEMPORARY NON-MILITARY SECURITY CHALLENGES AT EUROPEAN LEVEL

Summary/Abstract: The third millennium brought with it a series of structural transformations in terms of the international system and the nature of confrontations, so peripheral elements, usually with an auxiliary role, became central elements of combat strategies. Moreover, probably because of the nuclear deterrence during the Cold War, modern, post-modern warfare has become non-military in the classical sense of the term. This research shyly addresses an increasingly hot topic on the security agenda, a topic quite ignored and considered harmless or too theoretical until recently, the topic of cultural war. The hybrid nature of recent European security threats forces us to reflect, but without pretensions of lifesaving solutions or absolute conclusions on the increasingly tense situation unfolding around us. Crises overlap and take different forms, from the refugee crisis to the internal identity crises of the West, but all make the European security environment vulnerable and require analyzes that look for the deep sources of these crises and the useful tools in their management.
