Mir i sigurnost u jugoistočnoj Europi
Peace and Security in South Eastern Europe

Summary/Abstract: Globalization has brought about the collapse of the bipolar system of international relations, which was the foundation of the structure of global security based on the technological means of mass production, which predominated at that time. The change from the mass to the flexible way of production has made it necessary to build a new system of global security on the technological resources of flexible production and the political implications of globalization. There are many indications that it was just this new system of global security that began to take shape the day the first NATO bomb fell on Serbia, which means that it came into being in South-Eastern Europe i.e. in the region that at the beginning of the 20th century ignited the fuse of the world wars and which would, if not for this intervention, still pose a threat. The intervention, a novelty in the postwar international relations, and which consequently brought up a plethora of questions, paved the way to the realization of the project Europe for the 21st century. That project, based on adjusting international relations to globalization, whose outlines are becoming visible in the region of South-Eastern Europe, is in Croatia’s interest, and is the major guarantor of the preservation of its independence and sovereignty.
