This study aims to focus on the strategic shifts as well as on the geopolitical and other challenges the US and its NATO Allies are facing, particularly in Europe. Palpable domestic clashes of ideas and interests within the Alliance foster political dissonance and challenge unified power projection capabilities, especially when facing a revisionist expansionist Russia, a rising China and a fermenting Middle East in the neighborhood. The new asymmetric threats and challenges coming from the cyber domain, the advancement of artificial intelligence or even the global issues of climate change supplement the framework of classic geopolitical security and foreign political concerns. The US and its more vulnerable European allies seem to be in a phase of transition, in terms of security and their global position among other great power blocs. Among the controversially optimistic proclamations, there are also several skeptical and more realistic viewpoints regarding the present and future of the most successful and efficient security cooperation in history. Keywords: NATO, EU, great power politics, security strategies, global challenges, clash of ideas and geography. I. Old new rifts and challenges in the transatlantic region Throughout 2019, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) celebrated its 70th anniversary, but serious inner disputes and dark clouds overshadowed the festive mood of the Heads of State meetings of the North Atlantic Council. While taking a distant and retrospective glimpse into the rather glorious past of the Alliance, many pundits and decision-makers underscored the undeniable fact that NATO has been the most successful and efficient military alliance and security cooperation arrangement in modern human history. As the Washington-based American think- tank, the Brookings Institution’s research survey also highlighted, most of the security alliances in the history of the last half millennium lasted for less than 15 years2. 1 This paper has been elaborated with the support of ÚNKP-19-3-1/ NKE-72 program. 2 Emmanuel ASMAH – Laurence CHANDY – Daniel KAUFMANN – Johannes F. LINN – John MUTENYO – Veronika PENCIAKOVA: Around the Halls: The U.N.’s Millennium Developent Goals; Brookings 2010 https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up- front/2010/09/16/around-the-halls-the-u-n-s-millennium-development-goals/ (downloaded 12 November 2019) 5 Nevertheless, as a respected British military analyst professor Michael Clarke put it, aptly ironically darkening the festive atmosphere, the alliance used to be the strongest, when it had only half as many member states as today, in the beginning of the Cold War era.3 Theoretically speaking, it is a commonly shared security perception that the bipolar world of the Cold War with two almost equivalent global players (US-NATO v. Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact) proved to be more stable and balanced in the international arena, than the current competing global (USA, China, Russia, UK) and regional powers (Turkey, Iran, Israel, India, Brazil). Today, there are many more players with quite diverse power projection capabilities and heterogeneous webs of interests. Consequently, there are considerably more grounds for clashes and conflicts of all kinds, and penetration potentials among the actors on the world stage. 4 In such a patchwork of diversified global political factors in a challenging strategic environment, NATO and its members must find a way to represent and protect their interests both individually (nationally) and organizationally (internationally) alike. The Alliance, stretching from Alaska through the central Balkan peninsula to the Turkish-Iranian border in the Middle East, covers a considerable landmass and maritime area in the Northern hemisphere, supervising the safety and security of its 29 member states, with almost 800 million inhabitants. With the 30th potential member state of North Macedonia awaiting full accession to the Alliance, the geopolitical core of NATO has gradually shifted from the initial North Atlantic area towards the East European region, and even closer to the war-torn Middle East. Seemingly paradoxically in terms of strategic advantage and military might, the Alliance has become weaker and more tormented with diverse heterogeneous interests, stemming from the domestic and regional political culture of its new member states. Would it seem feasible and realistic that some small, globally insignificant countries could drag great powers and NATO into conflicts with potential escalation, into a major war? In the multi-polar world of the 21st century, many realistic experts do not exclude this scenario unfolding in the future at all, from the Estonian borderland, through the ever-fermenting Balkan region, to the more strategic Eastern Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern region.5 As the experts of the latest NATO Strategic Concept of 2010 remarked wittily, “past achievements and great accomplishments of the Alliance provide no guarantee for the future,” especially in such a transformed and changing global theater.6 In the following pages I shall provide a brief though tentatively comprehensive analysis of the recent strategic and political changes perceptible within the so-called Western world that are primarily related to the complex power triangle of NATO, European Union and the only global superpower, the United States.

  • Romania Redivivus
    alexander clapp ROMANIA REDIVIVUS nce the badlands of neoliberal Europe, Romania has become its bustling frontier. A post-communist mafia state that was cast to the bottom of the European heap by opinion- makers sixteen years ago is now billed as the success story Oof eu expansion.1 Its growth rate at nearly 6 per cent is the highest on the continent, albeit boosted by fiscal largesse.2 In Bucharest more politicians have been put in jail for corruption over the past decade than have been convicted in the rest of Eastern Europe put together. Romania causes Brussels and Berlin almost none of the headaches inflicted by the Visegrád Group—Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia— which in 1993 declined to accept Romania as a peer and collectively entered the European Union three years before it. Romanians con- sistently rank among the most Europhile people in the Union.3 An anti-eu party has never appeared on a Romanian ballot, much less in the parliament. Scattered political appeals to unsavoury interwar traditions—Legionnairism, Greater Romanianism—attract fewer voters than do far-right movements across most of Western Europe. The two million Magyars of Transylvania, one of Europe’s largest minorities, have become a model for inter-ethnic relations after a time when the park benches of Cluj were gilded in the Romanian tricolore to remind every- one where they were. Indeed, perhaps the aptest symbol of Romania’s place in Europe today is the man who sits in the Presidential Palace of Cotroceni in Bucharest. Klaus Iohannis—a former physics teacher at a high school in Sibiu, once Hermannstadt—is an ethnic German head- ing a state that, a generation ago, was shipping hundreds of thousands of its ‘Saxons’ ‘back’ to Bonn at 4,000–10,000 Deutschmarks a head.

  • Article Intelligence Sector Reforms in Romania: a Scorecard
    Intelligence Sector Reforms in Romania: A Article Scorecard Lavinia Stan Marian Zulean St. Francis Xavier University, Canada University of Bucharest, Romania [email protected] Abstract Since 1989, reforms have sought to align the Romanian post-communist intelligence community with its counterparts in established democracies. Enacted reluctantly and belatedly at the pressure of civil society actors eager to curb the mass surveillance of communist times and international partners wishing to rein in Romania’s foreign espionage and cut its ties to intelligence services of non-NATO countries, these reforms have revamped legislation on state security, retrained secret agents, and allowed for participation in NATO operations, but paid less attention to oversight and respect for human rights. Drawing on democratization, transitional justice, and security studies, this article evaluates the capacity of the Romanian post-communist intelligence reforms to break with communist security practices of unchecked surveillance and repression and to adopt democratic values of oversight and respect for human rights. We discuss the presence of communist traits after 1989 (seen as continuity) and their absence (seen as discontinuity) by offering a wealth of examples. The article is the first to evaluate security reforms in post- communist Romania in terms of their capacity to not only overhaul the personnel and operations inherited from the Securitate and strengthen oversight by elected officials, but also make intelligence services respectful of basic human rights. Introduction Since transitioning away from communist dictatorship in 1989, Romania has become a liberal democracy and a member of the European Union (EU) and NATO. As elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe where the communist secret police had conducted repression, in Romania the backbone of democratization was represented by reforms of the intelligence community, understood to comprise all of the intelligence services operating in the country.
