A political-military alliance generating security and, consequently, stability in a Europe that was vulnerable through its own suspicion and fragile because of its frequent ideological oscillations, NATO was an aspiration we had to nurture, for a long time, only expecting that one day we could express our own option. Situated, through the force of an unjust fate, at the edge of some empires whose fluid borders used to be overstepped, Romania often had to seek for alliances to protect its national essence and to fulfil the destiny that was in store for it in this corner of the continent. The choice it made or, many times, the imposition of the allies did not always prove to be the most fortunate one. When, after breaking loose from a system that was alien to the spirit of our people, we created the favourable conditions for an intelligent choice, we opted, in a broad national consensus, at the beginning of the ’90s, to join an alliance that we sincerely envied yet we wanted to be part of it. We chose what we believed to be most suitable for us to be guaranteed a genuine security, in the spirit of our nation real values that proved to be democratic. We opted for collective defence within NATO. As it was natural, the process of accession followed a road map, far from having been merely formal. Besides the interest in the own security 7 Romanian Military Thinking ~ 1/2009 the North Atlantic Alliance sought to safeguard in this area, the states that aspired to become members of the Alliance had to demonstrate their will to achieve it. Romania proved it wanted and was able to do it. Taking part in a race at the end of which it had to win, Romania mobilised its full potential to sip out of the victory cup on April 5, 2004, when it adhered to the North Atlantic Treaty. Raising our tricolour at the NATO Headquarters in Brussels marked the moment of achieving a major national desideratum, that of being part of a system that can offer the most important security guarantee possible in the world today. Our coming back in the great family of democratic nations was accompanied by a strong engagement and sacrifices that were mostly felt by the military. Vector of stability and element of genuine credibility, the Romanian Armed Forces were the main artisan and the most powerful engine of this national effort. Their role of fundamental actor in the accession process, played with abnegation and devotion, has to be fully recognised. At the end of a road that was not easy at all and that was sometimes obstructed by the hesitations of a political class that did not remain connected to the challenge of the final goal all the time, the armed forces demonstrated, in an exemplary way, that they understood to assume the own reform as a prerequisite for the accomplishment of their new missions within NATO. It is because the Alliance is not only an umbrella to safeguard its members. Besides the security guarantees the Alliance offers, being a member of it requires seriousness and political maturity. The transformation of the military body, necessary for it to tailor to the structures of the North Atlantic Alliance, has entailed generating and supporting an ample restructuring process that, although painful for a part of the military, aims at achieving full interoperability with allied armed forces. Assuming this transformation as a key instrument for the enhancement of the state armed power has obviously led to the Romanian Armed Forces being credited as supplier of regional stability and security within the Alliance. The engagement, alongside with the partner armed forces, in the fight against terrorism, in NATO-led operations, is a certain proof of the Romanian Armed Forces assuming and responsibly fulfilling their obligations within the Alliance. A change in attitude at the level of the strategic vision, as well as at the level of the individual mindset and at the one of the military culture in general, was indeed necessary. The capacity to adapt to novelty, the enthusiasm in accomplishing missions alongside the militaries in the Alliance have eloquently

  • 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.

ABSTRACT The research presented in this thesis addresses the significance of Romanian WWI sites as places of remembrance and heritage, by exploring the case of Maramureș against the standards of national and international heritage standards. The work provided the first ever survey of WWI sites on the Eastern Front, showing that the Prislop Pass conflictual landscape holds undeniable national and international heritage value both in terms of physical preservation and in terms of mapping on the memorial-historical record. The war sites demonstrate heritage and remembrance value by meeting heritage criteria on account of their preservation state, rarity, authenticity, research potential, the embedded war knowledge and their historical-memorial functions. The results of the research established that the war sites not only satisfy heritage legal requirements at various scales but are also endangered.

The Armed Forces are and will be a fundamental institution for ensuring national security. This responsibility becomes all the more complex by keeping simultaneously an adequate combat potential and carrying out the restructuring processes considered so necessary. Romania's national security cannot be isolated from that of the rest of Europe. Romania will continue to be a provider of regional stability in a security en-viron-ment characterized by many uncertainties, as well as by predictable risks and those that can be total surprises. Within acceptable limits of risk, the military are capable of protecting and guaranteeing Romania's National Security. In order to implement this strategy, the Armed Forces will undergo a process of modernization aimed at manpower restructuring and providing it with modern combat equipment. The aim of this process is to establish Project Force 2005, which is to be more compact, efficient, effective, flexible and compatible with NATO standards.

  • The German Military Mission to Romania, 1940-1941 by Richard L. Dinardo
    The German Military Mission to Romania, 1940–1941 By RICHARD L. Di NARDO hen one thinks of security assistance and the train- ing of foreign troops, W Adolf Hitler’s Germany is not a country that typically comes to mind. Yet there were two instances in World War II when Germany did indeed deploy troops to other countries that were in noncombat cir- cumstances. The countries in question were Finland and Romania, and the German mili- tary mission to Romania is the subject of this article. The activities of the German mission to Romania are discussed and analyzed, and some conclusions and hopefully a few take- aways are offered that could be relevant for military professionals today. Creation of the Mission The matter of how the German military mission to Romania came into being can be covered relatively quickly. In late June 1940, the Soviet Union demanded from Romania the cession of both Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina. The only advice Germany could give to the Romanian government was to agree to surrender the territory.1 Fearful of further Soviet encroachments, the Roma- nian government made a series of pleas to Germany including a personal appeal from Wikimedia Commons King Carol II to Hitler for German military assistance in the summer of 1940. Hitler, Finnish Volunteer Battalion of German Waffen-SS return home from front in 1943 however, was not yet willing to undertake such a step. Thus, all Romanian requests were rebuffed with Hitler telling Carol that Romania brought its own problems upon itself by its prior pro-Allied policy.

Especially in Romania, the defense budget is valued at $4.8 billion, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.57%. It is also expected to reach $7.6 billion in 2023, according to a report by Strategic Defense Intelligence. There is no consensus in current research and less attention is paid to Eastern European countries. Considering the significant increase in military spending in Romania in recent years, as well as the occurrence of political events, this paper focuses on the dynamic causal relationship between military spending and sustainable economic growth in Romania. The bootstrap rolling window causality test takes into account the structural changes, and therefore, provides more convincing results. The results indicate negative effects of military expenditure on sustainable economic growth between 1996–1999 and 2002–2004.

    CZECH ARMED FORCES 2019 © The Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic − MHI Prague, 2020 ISBN 978-80-7278-791-3 CZECH ARMED FORCES 2019 2 INTRODUCTION Dear citizens, soldiers, airmen and defence civilians, for the Czech Armed Forces, the year 2019 saw changes associated with meeting the Armed Forces’ missions and its key development priorities. Those were defined in two key policies authorised by the Government in the last year – the Longterm Perspective for Defence 2035, which provides the primary guidance for defence planning and for subordinate policies, and the Czech Armed Forces Development Concept 2030 that builds on the Longterm Perspective for Defence. After thirty years from the victory of democracy and twenty years in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the Czech Armed Forces finds itself at yet another turning point. The changes have been primarily relative to the structure of the Armed Forces, which transformed to ensure an optimal system of command and control. In addition, we are developing new capabilities and besides the Land Forces, the Air Force and the Special Forces, the Cyber Forces and Territorial Forces were formed. We have preparations underway for the largest armaments replacement programs in the history of the Czech Armed Forces. Those steps would however be futile without committed personnel on high quality training standards. That is why we pay a high attention to the recruitment of new soldiers, airmen and members of the Active Reserve Component. We are delivering on the Armed Forces’ primary mission, which is to ensure the defence of the state and the Czech citizens and consistently perform our commitments to NATO, EU and the UN, which entail new challenges for us.
