Summary/Abstract: In what the East-West European concept is concerned, it must be very clear that the division of the continent between the two blocs was arbitrary in several respects. In addition to the physical factors, the political factors were of vital importance in determining the division between a Western and a Eastern Europe. Located between East and West and with a heart divided between Slavic and Latin origin, passed through the French sieve, Romania is the country surrounded by a whirlwind of uncertainty and chiaroscuro, the servility of a grotesque dictatorship that characterizes us for decades. Synthesizing the most remarkable features of Romania's systematic change in the new European geopolitical context, I will try, based on a new interpretation and vision of international relations, to highlight with the help of various materials studied, Romania's foreign policy objectives. One of Romania's priority objectives was to integrate the country into the broad process of globalization, in this case, joining the Euro-Atlantic structures. In order to achieve the main objective, I considered it would be proper to structure the analysis in three directions, taking into account the current problems of the Romanian foreign policy:  NATO Alliance;  Romania's integration into the European Union;  Regional cooperation with the countries in the area and Romania's participation in international organizations.
