Summary/Abstract: The need for Romania to define its policy, strategy and military doctrine in as clear as possible terms, based on its interests, is in line with the concern of the Romanian state to capitalise at the highest level on its geostrategic potential. Knowing and implementing doctrines as reference documents for planning and conducting military actions, especially at joint level, determine the understanding of the principles of employing the armed forces in relation to the regional, national and international context. Starting with the last decade of the 20th century, the evolution of the global security environment has determined fundamental transformations of armed forces mission configuration, in spite of the fact that, at the beginning of the ‘90s, the theories of political and military analysts victoriously proclaimed the relaxation of international relations and the final triumph of peace over war, pledging profound chances of success for the negotiations regarding the cease of arms race.
