Metamorfoza violenţei în războiul modern - General dr. Mircea MUREŞAN, comandantul (rectorul) Universităţii Naţionale de Apărare

From the destruction violence and aggression against life, to the cyberspace violence that does not kill, but transforms, persuades and dominates.

Despre efectul dăunător al geostrategiei - Dr. Nicolae DOLGHIN

The Ukrainian elections have finished. The results of the third round for presidential elections are known. The European media have other priorities for the time being and seldom remember to mention our neighbour. The situation was suggested to us by a Chekhov’s sad monologue, a Russian writer who also lived in Ukraine.

Relaţiile ruso-europene în domeniul energetic - Drd. Cristian BĂHNĂREANU

The relations between EU and Russian Federation are very diversified and complex. The goal of this partnership is to create a politico-economic block in order to reduce the pressure and to counterbalance the US status. The economic relations are the most important. EU depends on Russian energy resources and Russia depends on European investments and technology.

Transformarea NATO - adaptare la noul mediu global de securitate - Alina AMZICĂ, Adina SAVA, locotenent-colonel Pascu FURNICĂ

At the beginning of the ’90s, an intense debate was taking place over the role envisaged for the Europe’s security organizations. While some were arguing the irrelevance of the NATO, others believed the Alliance was still needed. The American engagement, the fragile European alternatives and the developments in Europe proved that NATO needed to be preserved and transformed. More than a decade later, the picture seems to appear different. NATO’s missions have been redefined, its membership has increased to 26 and the military component reform is on its way. This article tries to answer some questions: why transformation, what objectives this process had, which was the way to the actual NATO, and who and what influenced decisively this road from a defensive military alliance to a proactive security and defence organization. The authors will continue with an article in order to answer how this process influenced the actual structure of NATO.

Procesul de luare a deciziilor în NATO (OPP) - Locotenent colonel Crăişor-Constantin IONIŢĂ

In a permanent changeable security environment, NATO’s essential and enduring purpose continues to remain the safeguard of freedom and security of all its members by political and military means. Whilst the threat of large-scale conventional aggression against the Alliance is highly unlikely, this has been replaced by complex new risks including oppression, ethnic conflict, economic distress, the collapse of political order, international terrorism and the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). The scale and multi-faceted nature of these risks requires a flexible operational planning system with a high degree of responsiveness. The process must be able to adapt to take account of potential Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF) operations, coalition operations involving non-NATO Nations, or European Union (EU) led operations as the need arises. Based on the overarching principles in the MC 133/3 (NATO’s Operational Planning System), the purpose of the Allied Command Operations (ACO) Guidelines for Operational Planning (GOP) is to outline the procedures and responsibilities governing preparation, approval, promulgation, distribution, implementation, and review of operational planning documents necessary to execute the tasks allocated to the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and his subordinate commanders. NATO’s operational planning system has been designed to implement a standardised process for operational planning to meet any contingency in a timely manner.

Uniunea Europeană - un tip postmodern de construcţie imperială? - Mădălina Virginia ANTONESCU

In this article we are trying to analyze not a specific model of political governance or an institutional pattern adopted by the Union, but to illustrate the tendencies of some international organizations with integrationist profile to embrace imperial methods, elements and objectives. The article analyses the new concept of global empire and also, the neo-imperialism as phenomenon created by the globalization age, by making a comparison with the classical forms of empires and imperialisms. It is in essence, a theoretic approach trying to find and to depict the main features of a global empire and to show in what measure the European Union is subscribed to such a model.
How can a global empire govern the transnational fluxes of capital and the non-state actors, or the complex and self-called autonomous order of sovereign states? In what type of imperial entity will the EU evolve? How can a global empire, as a system without hierarchy, exert power over the sovereign states- in a classical approach of the theory of imperialism-? There is certain compatibility between the new forms of empires and the historical essence of violence, terror, exploitation, marginalization and fragmentation that has constituted the nature of a classical imperialism? What features has such a des-centralized system called, in a general way, “global empire”?
European Union, as the empire-organization, is the materialization of the new structure through which this system exerts control over the global world. This article only asks inciting questions and starts a fascinating debate on the real nature and objectives of the EU, in the context of the globalization and the appearance of new forms of thinking the global policy.

Mediul de securitate de la cumpăna anilor 2004-2005 - Colonel (r) dr. Grigore ALEXANDRESCU

The main evolution trend of the security environment during 2004 has been marked out by the changes brought up by NATO and EU enlargements and by the reconsideration of their role and place in the economy and management of security, regional and global stability. The security stabilization processes have maintained their fast rhythms. The initiatives, programmes and policies adopted in order to cement the worldwide security environment have proved their utility even if sometimes the ends were not the meant ones.

Ameninţări actuale la adresa securităţii - CS II dr. Petre DUŢU

National, regional and international security is a permanently subject to different threats. We may mention among them: international terrorism, spread of weapons of mass destruction, demographic factors (the population’s aging, illegal migration, the demographic stagnation), transnational criminality, the resources’ diminish (water, hydrocarbons). These threats are omnipresent and impose efforts from state and non state actors in order to decrease their effects and manage accordingly.

Problematica dreptului internaţional şi securitatea - General de brigadă (r) prof. univ. cons. dr. Gheorghe-Constantin BALABAN

De-a lungul secolelor, au avut loc evenimente istorice de anvergură ce au influenţat atât evoluţia ulterioară a societăţii internaţionale, cât şi dezvoltarea progresivă a dreptului internaţional până la dreptul internaţional contemporan. Între acestea: Tratatele de pace de la Westphalia din 1648, Revoluţia franceză, Declaraţia de independenţă a SUA din 1776, Actul final al Congresului de la Viena din 1815, Congresul de la Paris din 1856, alte convenţii multilaterale de interes general prin care se înfiinţau primele organizaţii internaţionale din secolul XIX.

Protecţia şi securitatea mediului în dreptul internaţional - Mirela ATANASIU

Protecting the environment is essential for the quality of life of current and future generations. The challenge is to combine this with continuing economic growth in a way which is sustainable over the long term. The international environment policy must be based on the belief that high environmental standards stimulate innovation and business opportunities. A sustainable environment depends on individual citizens being personally committed, so involving them in decisionmaking on environmental protection is a priority. Public participation is a central element in the common procedures applying across the world for assessing the environmental impact of public sector policies and programmes and of investment projects.

Logistica în reţea - Colonel (r) CS III dr. Eugen SITEANU

Logistics has become a science of the future. Its main objective is studying the dimensioning and the optimal co-relation between the information and goods. In the army there has been crystallized a logistic system build up of sub-systems (management, equipment, investments and buildings, supplying, maintenance, transport, financing etc.). Nowadays, the success of a logistic system will be determined by fast and effective data and information processing.

Siguranţa transporturilor maritime în cadrul misiunilor forţelor navale pe timp de pace - Comandor dr. Ştefan GEORGESCU, Comandor dr. Virgil ASOFIE

In peacetime, naval forces maintain freedom of the seas for maritime trade by general presence and occasionally by freedom of navigation operations. If a state claim to territorial seas is not accepted or it attempts to restrict the use of the high seas or international straits, it may be necessary to use naval forces in order to prove the intention of using those waters. Freedom of navigation operations is designed to persuade or dissuade a government and therefore it is a form of naval diplomacy.

Relaţia dintre politic şi militar - Colonel prof.univ.dr. Vasile MARIN

The relation between politics and military is very complex and is present at strategic level as premises in order to promote the state’s interests at geopolitical level. From this perspective, army is a political tool having a well-defined social role. Its actions have deep implication not only on social-political level, but also on the politicalmilitary and even geopolitical ones.

Masă rotundă: Statele mici şi mijlocii şi securitatea regională

On September, 27, 2004, the Centre for Defence and Security Strategic Studies hosted a panel on “The Role of Small and Medium- Sized States on Achieving the Regional Security”. There were invited representatives from the Institute for Strategic Studies (Defence University, Brno, the Czech Republic): Mr. Josef Janosec, PhD, Director of the Institute, lieutenant colonel Josef Prochazka and Mr. Libor Frank, the Institute’s lecturers. It was an interesting debate on the integrating processes on the European continent. There have been stressed out the role and future of the national military institution in the continental structures prefiguring. There have been insisted upon the European particularities: the common treasure is an enclosing of the civilisation specifics, with an long history, coming from numerous actors, and having individual values reported to the common ones, all of them contributing and influencing the integration processes.

Reconstrucţia civilă - o soluţie posibilă de succes în războiul împotriva terorismului - Colonel dr. Ion COŞCODARU

Reconstruction and rehabilitation projects for main infrastructure elements such as airports, highways, harbours may have a major impact on the future economical development, may increase locals’ trust in the international community’s good intentions. However, building-up the main elements of the national institutions – military, gendarmerie, justice, public administration–, monitoring the election processes and supporting the new legislative establishments on peacefully taking-over the power, improving the health and educational systems may be considered credible milestones, substantiate the international community’s efforts and fully justify the presence of the security organizations in the area.
