Summary/Abstract: In the past decade, events in global politics have demonstrated the extent to which the world is globalized and how challenging it is to isolate crises that initially appear to be regional in nature. Significant moments of crisis have been present in global politics over the past decade such as the ”Arab Spring” and the migrant crisis, followed by the first Ukrainian crisis of 2014, the spread of the COVID- 19 pandemic, and finally the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. All the mentioned events have simultaneously served as a unique test for the global community, both at state and multilateral level, in terms of the potential to create frameworks for cooperation and collective action to find adequate solutions. With a reasonable degree of certainty, we can conclude that the outcomes of interstate cooperation have been insufficient so far.

- Summary/Abstract:It is essential to comprehend the current and future state of affairs, the importance and use of technology in crises, while also knowing how to make a right choice regarding collaboration and strategic alliances. It is important to understand the complex and volatile environment in the European Continent and beyond. While we live in the world of change, the digital ecosystem is borderless and showing us the ways to the future. It is a matter of a contemporary challenge. Therefore, we have to be agile, well-versed and multidimensional in approach and processes when examining the greater picture ahead of us, regionally and globally. At the time of new emerging alliances interrupting the current state of affairs and partnerships, we have to be resilient and reliant on short-term variables, and provide optimal solutions to risk assessments in the future. Through this chapter, we envision what we will call ”the road to a new security architecture”. The chapter deems it a requirement against the current market and political volatility ahead of us. It analyzes the current state of affairs, considers regional and ongoing global phenomena and the need for long-term alliances. It is a theoretical research approach that includes a risk assessment analysis and requests further support for more profound pragmatic-based research.

- Summary/Abstract:Is Intelligence Studies an academic discipline? The subject of many debates, Intelligence Studies represents an intellectual corps of almost four-decade long academic efforts focused on the development of science journals, research monographs, scientific conferences, university academic programs, theses and dissertations, research projects, etc. Its epistemological base is located somewhere between the disciplines of Political Science, International Relations, Security Studies, and History, and its thematic scope is practically limitless, covering topics from Management Studies, through Psychology, to Sociology of professions. This review of the development of Intelligence Studies is trying to map all the established elements of the Studies as a possible academic discipline, and to collect all the intellectual efforts related to critical examination of the Studies within the available academic sources. The expected result should be embodied in the comprehensive map of pros and cons related to the epistemological, methodological, and theoretical potential of the Intelligence Studies at present. State of the art sources and academic contributions in this field will be used as a material for analysis.

- Summary/Abstract:All the changes in the world related to the end of the Cold War have stimulated regional security dynamics, and regional level, as a level of analysis, has received a very significant place in modern security studies. One of the most important post-Cold War theoretical approaches (if not the most important), which deals with regional security dynamics, is the Theory of the Regional Security (Sub) Complex. We cannot help, but notice the indirect influence of this theory on changes in the approach to the study of subjects, concepts and methods of international police cooperation. Namely, modern trends of stronger regional connection and strengthening of regional security identities have led to the regional dimension of cooperation being in the foreground. Regional police cooperation implies a series of relations that are established between countries that belong to the same regional security (sub) complex with the aim of undertaking joint activities to solve common security problems. In this paper, we will present the concept and models of regional police cooperation.

- Keywords:cold globalization; deglobalization
- Summary/Abstract:Similar to the emblematic work of Francis Fukuyama, ”The End of History and the Last Man”, the topic of ”the end of globalization” is becoming attractive and debatable, as well. The question is whether attitudes and opinions will be as changeable as ”the end of history” phenomenon. The central focus of this paper is directed to the question: Are we witnessing today the end of globalization, synonymous with growth in recent years? Have the end of the US unilateralism and superiority and the establishment of the new world order been announced? The Covid-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, climate changes, tensions over Taiwan and China are parameters that are contrary to the philosophy of globalization. Undoubtedly, the end of hyper-globalization has begun. It is a period that extends from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the crisis in 2008 and which has marked the opening of half of the world to the world global flows. Here we think of China, the countries of the former USSR and India and their opening or closing to world trade. It is evident that geopolitics, i.e. its product – the new world order – determines globalization and deglobalization. The successive shocks of the past 15 years have encouraged the retreat of states into themselves, which is unfavorable for any idea of globalization. There are no doubts that globalization will be partially sustained, but it is difficult to assume that the exceptional growth of the hyper-globalization period will be reached (Dadush, 2022). Full globalization i.e. establishing a system of ”cold globalization” is possible only if there is an invasion of Taiwan by China. The Russian intervention in Ukraine, although tense, is not decisive enough to completely threaten globalization. Compared to China’s importance in world trade, Russian participation is far disproportionate to China’s one. Will these processes create some feedback on the state of the Western Balkan countries?

- Summary/Abstract:The post-Soviet and post-SFR Yugoslavia space has been sharing some similarities in terms of post-socialist transitional changes and security arrangements related to peacemaking and peacekeeping missions. The arrangements have been dominantly made in the framework of international order. There are a few types of international security presence represented by the United Nations and OSCE, and also some examples of the so-called ad hoc peace operations such are IFOR/SFOR/EUFOR in Bosnia and Herzegovina or UNMIK/EULEX in Kosovo and Metohija. This paper examines which goals, efficiency and future peace missions in Southeastern Europe will have in the light of changes of international order and strategic relations between great global players and international organizations in relations with regional countries and the framework of the Russian-Ukrainian war and its impact on maintaining peace. This changed environment should also be connected with initiatives and acceptance for regional cooperation and impact of international players on establishing regional networks.

- Summary/Abstract:In order to uphold the architecture of international security, most countries are committed to the peaceful resolution of disputes. In case diplomatic efforts fail, most of them have the military power to settle disputes by the use of military force. The outgoing 20th and the unfolding 21st century have clearly displayed that conflicts can degenerate into asymmetric, irregular and low intensity wars with the involvement of non-state actors. It has also become clear that these actors take advantage of the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous, or in short VUCA environment posed by globalization. The social wave - front theory provides a useful narrative to this environment as it regards human history as a succession of three waves of changes and every time the waves clash, bloody wars break out as tensions between the representatives of different waves accumulate. Tensions can feature macroeconomic and geostrategic forces, risks on a regional and global scale that pose challenges of a various kind to humankind. In this paper the author argues that this requires a new lexicon and a special approach that have their mark on operational art. Integrating ends, ways and means to align forces and actions in time and space meaningfully is very much needed for the successful conduct of military operations to get a grip on the dynamics of the VUCA environment.

- Summary/Abstract:The topic of modern migrations and the associated effects have long since ceased to be of importance only to experts in the fields of demography, social and economic policy. The turbulent migration events in the second decade of the 21st century have shown us that modern migration has become a serious security issue for all European countries and the Union itself as never before. The security problems related to the massive wave of migration to Europe, mainly from the Middle East, and also from North Africa, are twofold. One side of the coin concerns general security problem that irregular migration poses for migrant transit countries and migrant destination countries. This is usually presented as a fear of Islamist extremists infiltrating migrant convoys to Europe, or more generally as a fear of the ”Islamization of Europe”. Another problem related to the dramatic migration flows to Europe is the rise of the radical right in many European countries and the emergence of strong anti-immigration and Islamophobic narratives. European national populist discourses have used the opportunity to emphasize more strongly the threat of Islamization of the Old Continent, and the fact that many of the asylum seekers were Muslims, who made the image of the ”Muslim invasion” even more effective. What also benefited right-wing populists were the terrorist attacks on European soil that coincided with the migration wave. Right-wing populism, based on the narratives of anti-migration policies, has also become a part of the electoral slogans of political parties, some of which have also become a part of the executive branch. This paper analyzes the problems faced by European countries due to the increasing insecurity caused by the sudden influx of migrants, and also the spread of rightwing extremism, which is a problem in itself in the complicated security algorithm today.

- Summary/Abstract:The war in Ukraine has been a warning for European countries, alerting them to the fact that defense issues are again relevant. The current framework of the European Union Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) is not appropriate for the new strategic situation. Despite the notable CSDP successes, the key CSDP problems persist. Those unresolved issues are impeding the further CSDP development. There is a need for a complete overview and overhaul of the CSDP. Based on the mentioned issues, the paper analyzes the possible future development of the CSDP, emphasizing the search for answers to two key questions: what is the objective of the CSDP and how the EU should strengthen the defense of Europe?

- Summary/Abstract:Since the collapse of the USSR, the Russian Federation has been seeking to maintain its influence in the so-called ”Near Abroad” by employing a wide range of tactics and instruments collectively known as the tools of hybrid warfare. In certain situations, the process of achieving this interest has led to the emergence of frozen conflicts in the territory of some states that belonged to the Soviet Union. An interesting question arises as to whether frozen conflicts are a tool of this hybrid philosophy or not. This paper aims to demonstrate that frozen conflicts represent hybrid warfare tactics that allows the Russian Federation to keep these states in its sphere of influence with negative consequences not only for their security, but also for European security. In order to do that, the theoretical research focused on the understanding of the concepts of ”hybrid warfare” and ”frozen conflicts” will be carried out followed by an empirical analysis based on the connection between these two concepts with reference to the conflicts in the European Post-Soviet area.

- Summary/Abstract:By undertaking large-scale military actions against neighboring Ukraine in February 2022, Russia clearly shows that it does not want NATO in its immediate neighborhood and that it intends to regain its role in international relations from the time of the functioning of the USSR in the international community, clearly showing that it does not accept the dominant position of the US in the international community. Considering that before the aggression Ukraine expressed clear ambitions to become a member of NATO and the EU, as well as the fact that Russia is a territorial part of the European state and that its economy was significantly related to the EU states, then it is crystal clear that this aggression is directly related to the EU security. In addition to the former USSR countries in the Baltics: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, which became NATO members in 2004, Finland, which was a neutral country for a long time, also became a NATO member on the anniversary of the founding of this organization on April 4, 2023 and formal membership of Sweden is expected soon, which greatly changes the security architecture of Europe. The countries of the Western Balkans, which are historically and culturally linked to Russia and at the same time have opted for the Western European integration, have been brought into a security gap. The future course of events will undoubtedly have consequences on their safety. Montenegro, as the smallest country in the Western Balkans and a member of NATO, with already achieved results in the process of the European integration after 2020, is a politically and ethnically divided country and, with a high rate of organized crime and corruption, has been put in a situation where its state survival is also threatened.

- Summary/Abstract:After the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine was the area where and around which the interests of Russia and Western powers, primarily the US and NATO, clashed. Two ”colour revolutions” in the 21st century best illustrate the dynamics of political balance changes and the influence of external factors in this European state. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, particularly after the Russian annexation of Crimea, is viewed as a ”hybrid warfare”, whose significant component is, among others, ”information warfare”. This paper considers the characteristics of the information warfare that preceded the Russian armed aggression against Ukraine. Russia has been preparing for a long time and has shown great efficiency in information warfare in the period until the beginning of the current armed conflict. The Russian sphere of influence was global. Various forms of information warfare (cyber, psychological propaganda, electronic, intelligence, etc.) have been combined. The action in information space was characterized by the integration of various resources, dynamism and flexibility of their use. The Russian information operations in Ukraine can be characterized by a high level of sophistication and their complex character. In the confrontation with Ukraine, Russia had numerous advantages from the aspect of controlling information space: technical tools, vast experience, as well as long-term practice in conducting information operations. The lessons learned in the conflict with Georgia in 2008 were particularly useful. On the other hand, Ukraine proved to be unprepared for information warfare and the undertaken measures were, for the most part, reactive. The impact of social networks, various mechanisms for compromising information infrastructure, as well as unmanned platforms, were very significant.

- Keywords:contemporary conflicts; gender equality; scientific paper; professional development
- Summary/Abstract:The subject of our research is the concept of gender equality, whose understanding is important for the development of society and organisational systems in which human rights and gender equality are respected, there is tolerance and discrimination is prohibited. With this paper we would like to emphasize the contribution of scientific research work as a problem-based foundation of professional development and training of employees in the security sector for better understanding, acceptance and implementation of the concept of gender equality. We will present the level of gender equality reached in the Western Balkan region by considering situation in the defence systems of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, the Republic of North Macedonia and the Republic of Serbia, on the basis of current analyses, available programmes and research on views about gender equality problems. We have found out that there are similarities and certain specifics of the programme concepts of professional development and training of employees, as well as the results of scientific research papers, and also the identification of problems and possible solutions by employees in the defence systems. The conclusion of this paper is that scientific research work, as the authentic experience of the defence system of the Republic of Serbia and training of employees based on research practices, greatly contribute to raising the awareness of the defence system personnel about the importance of gender perspective, not as an element that has to be added somewhere, but as a more effective way of thinking and defining all important issues and concepts in the defence systems.

- Keywords:human rights; national security; political science
- Summary/Abstract:Human rights and national security are two significant dimensions of society, yet often competing values in any society. The intersection between human rights and national security is an important area of inquiry, as these values are essential for ensuring the protection and stability of society. While human rights guarantee individual freedom and dignity, national security processes are necessary for safeguarding national sovereignty and citizens from potential threats. However, attaining a balance between these values may be difficult in practice, as national security measures may sometimes infringe upon human rights. This thematic research paper explores the relationship between human rights, national security, and political science theories. The paper addresses the following research questions: 1) How do human security, human rights, and political science theories intersect with national security? 2) Is security a necessary precondition for the existence of society? The paper argues that human rights and national security are complementary values that should be optimally balanced to ensure a secure society. Using a review of related literature, the paper examines challenges of balancing human rights and national security in practice. The paper also highlights importance of promoting democracy, accountability, and respect for human rights in enhancing national security while also protecting individual freedoms and dignity. Finally, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between human rights, national security, and political science theories.

- Keywords:COVID-19; pandemic; threat; human security; sustainable development goals (SDGs)
- Summary/Abstract:The objective of this review is to provide an overview of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on human security. By an analysis of the literature, it has been estimated that the pandemic had a direct impact on the health dimension of human security, leading to a high rate of mortality and morbidity. On the other hand, measures undertaken at global and national level, such as lockdowns and curfews, have led to tectonic disruptions in the economy, job losses, the access to food and health care, as well as an increased rate of violence and human rights derogations. Threats to human security within one dimension and the consequences caused by them spill over into others, thus creating a vicious circle of threats to basic freedoms – from want, from fear and to live in dignity, as well as decline in the process of achieving sustainable development goals. Taking into account that pandemics of infectious diseases are a constant of human civilization, it has been concluded that in the future, states would have to find a balance between the measures undertaken to fight infectious diseases, on the one hand, and the welfare of ordinary people, on the other hand.

- Summary/Abstract:Since the mid-1990s, the concept of human helplessness has begun to appear in almost all theoretical discussions of the modern approach to security as one of the pressing problems. Today, after almost less than three decades, human security has become a key factor that is considered in almost all professional and scientific works all over the world, from the well- known position that security is a basic human need, a basic human value and the strongest guaranteed safety. It has become a key factor in preserving security, both at local level, at community level, and at regional level, and one could say at global level, as well. Today, there is almost no national defense strategy that does not pay special attention to the concept of human security. Using scientific methods, primarily induction, then deduction, as well as description and comparison, we would like to point out that traditional theories of security such as realism, neorealism, especially liberalism and neoliberalism, indicate special importance to the individual. In addition to considering the concept of human security in traditional theories of security, this paper aims to point out the challenges and perspectives of further theoretical consideration of the concept of human security in modern society, which is increasingly characterized by multipolarity along with modern technical and technological development, based on such an analysis.
