  • The Failure of Secessionist Movements in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia
    Research and Science Today Supplement 2013 International Relations THE FAILURE OF SECESSIONIST MOVEMENTS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AND CROATIA Paul DUȚĂ1 ABSTRACT: THE CURRENTS OF POLITICAL AND LEGAL PHILOSOPHY OF HUMAN SECURITY ARE IN AN INCREASINGLY INTENSE DIALOGUE FOR A RETHINKING OF ISSUES ON THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF STATES, DIALOGUE REFLECTED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF COMMUNICATING VESSELS IN THE METAMORPHOSES OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THE PARTICULARLY DELICATE ISSUES RELATED TO COMPLEX RELATIONS OF "VERTICAL INTEGRATION" WITHIN THE EU ARE KEPT FROZEN FOR NOW ON THE AGENDA OF THE EU BUT MORE LIKELY THAN THAT, THEY WILL BE THE FUTURE AGENDA OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, AFTER THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ELECTIONS IN 2014. THE SPECIAL LITERATURE IS ADVANCING A NUMBER OF SCENARIOS THAT CAN INDUCE A PALETTE OF PARADOXICAL SITUATIONS WITH ADVERSE INFLUENCE ON EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURE. A UNIFIED SOLUTION DERIVED FROM A PERSPECTIVE GOVERNED WITHOUT "EXCEPTIONS WHICH CANNOT TURN IN PRECEDENTS" IS PARTICULARLY ACUTE, AS THE UNANIMOUS OPINION IS THAT THE EUROPEAN TREATIES ARE DEFECTIVE AND THE SOLID AND HARMONIOUS VISION BUILT UPON THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL MINORITIES IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE EUROPEAN STATES IS BESET BY SEPARATIST MOVEMENTS IN EUROPE. THE LAST FEW DECADES, AMID A GEOPOLITICAL GIANT REALIGNMENT, HAVE RECORDED A RATHER COMPLEX CONTRADICTORY PHENOMENON, THE DISSOLUTION OF STATE FEDERATIONS (USSR, SFRY, AND CZECHOSLOVAKIA) AND THE REUNIFICATION OF OTHER COUNTRIES (GERMANY) UNDER A FEDERATION. THE FUNDAMENTAL PARAMETERS OF ANALYSIS – HISTORICAL LANDMARKS, CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK, USE AND REFERENDUM LEGITIMACY, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S INVOLVEMENT, THE EXISTENCE OF ARMED VIOLENCE, THE RECOGNITION OF THE SECESSIONIST ENTITY STATUS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL POINT OF VIEW.

  • International Relations the OSCE STRATEGIES of MEDIATION and NEGOTIATION CARRIED out in MOLDOVA and UKRAINE
    Research and Science Today No. 2(10)/2015 International Relations THE OSCE STRATEGIES OF MEDIATION AND NEGOTIATION CARRIED OUT IN MOLDOVA AND UKRAINE Paul DUTA1 ABSTRACT: THE STRATEGY FOR MOLDOVA IS VERY CONFUSED: FROM A UNITARY STATE, A CONFEDERATION, AND FEDERATION TO THE REUNION WITH ROMANIA. ANYWAY, "THE MESEBERG INITIATIVE" PROPOSES THE POSSIBLE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CONSULTING MECHANISM ON SECURITY ISSUES FOR THE EUROPEAN UNION-THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION. THIS ARRANGEMENT IS WITHOUT ROMANIA. IN UKRAINE, CRIMEA AND THE DONBAS REGION STATUS IS VERY CONFUSED, ALSO. IN THE CASE OF THE CIVIL WAR IN UKRAINE, THE EFFORTS OF MEDIATION SANCTIONS AND NEGOTIATION HAVE MADE CERTAIN STEPS, ON THE INITIATIVE OF GERMANY AND FRANCE, COMPLEMENTED BY THE OSCE. “THE NORMANDY FORMAT” – RUSSIA, GERMANY, FRANCE AND UKRAINE – CAN SUPERVISE THE COMPLIANCE AND THE IMPLEMENTATION THE ARRANGEMENT, AND CAN INVITE USA TO PARTICIPATE. HOWEVER, IS NOT USUAL TO IGNORE THE USA AND THE GREAT BRITANY IN THIS VERY HOT ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR EUROPE BUT FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD. KEYWORDS: MOLDOVA, UKRAINE, OSCE, “THE NORMADY FORMAT”, USA, UK To restore international peace and security several political-diplomatic steps must be completed. Some methodological details are required from the very beginning. First, because the differences in regulation and theoretical explanations between "threat to international peace and security", "conflict situation", "crisis", "conflict", "low-intensity war" ("small war", "low intensity conflict", "guerrilla") are not the subject of this study, we will still use the phrase of "violation of international peace." Second, the United Nations terminology draws the distinction between "armed conflict" and "international armed conflict", we will overcome this altered approach especially important coming under the phrase of "violation of international peace," giving up this simplifying vision only in the cases that are strictly defined, and where the meanings of the United Nations rules impose a specifically defined approach.

  • Teodor FRUNZETI the CONCEPT of "SMART DEFENSE"
    Teodor FRUNZETI Professor Ph.D. Lieutenant General Commandant (Rector) National Defense University “Carol I” THE CONCEPT OF "SMART DEFENSE" IN THE CONTEXT OF AN EFFICIENT DEFENSE PLANNING The international security environment is currently undergoing a series of fundamental changes becoming increasingly complex. Consequently, international actors need to fi nd innovative ways to manage security and defense. The global fi nancial and economic crisis has had a strong impact on military budgets, making it necessary for states and regional and international organizations concerned with such issues to streamline their defense planning and the more so because, in addition to the already consecrated risks and security threats, there are also new challenges. The concepts of “pooling and sharing” and “smart defense” have become, in this context, increasingly popular generating new initiatives in defense planning. However, despite some successes in this regard and their presentation as ideal solutions for managing defense in the current context, these concepts involve a number of diffi culties to overcome that sometimes may translate into strategic political military and even economic disadvantages. Key words: “pooling and sharing”, “smart defense”, security challenges, reductions in military budgets, NATO, EU, prioritization, cooperation, specialization. 1. INTRODUCTION The international security environment is currently subject to a series of fundamental changes altering the way the defense and security problem is addressed. The most signifi cant one occurs in the polarity of the international system that switches from a unipolar confi guration to a multipolar one, that is from the existence of several countries comparable in terms of the power resources they hold and that are centered around a single power center with signifi cantly more capabilities than other actors [1] to the existence of multiple power centers in the international arena with comparable resources.

  • Nato's Post-Cold War Effectiveness
    NATO’S POST-COLD WAR EFFECTIVENESS: HOW NATO PRESERVED STABILITY AND SECURITY IN THE POST-COLD WAR WORLD THROUGH ITS CONDUCT OF MILITARY OPERATIONS by Zachary Marc Silberman A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Global Security Studies Baltimore, Maryland December 2014 ©2014 Zachary Marc Silberman All Rights Reserved Abstract: The main argument of this thesis is that NATO can be an effective post-Cold War alliance in preserving 21st century security and stability through the conduct of its military operations. In order to show NATO’s effectiveness in successfully preserving post-Cold War security and stability, this thesis looks at three interrelated aspects of NATO following the fall of communism and how these aspects may have affected NATO’s ability to conduct military operations during its involvement in various conflicts. Rather than look at the wider concepts of NATO’s security role, I was interested in examining whether the alliance has been effective since the disappearance of the communist threat. The first chapter looks at the influence of U.S. strategic interests on NATO’s decision-making process. However, I argue that the interests of other states and the organization itself within the realm of U.S. strategic interests can motivate NATO decision-making to conduct military operations. The second chapter discusses a tiered system of NATO members—based on their political and military contributions—and whether those tiers impact the conduct of the alliance during specific military operations. I argue that certain tiers contribute more political and military assets to particular military operations than other tiers.
