THE GLOBALIZATION AND REGIONALIZATION OF SECURITY
THE GLOBALIZATION AND REGIONALIZATION OF SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: Globalization is a multidimensional process: information technology and other fields develop and spread with amazing rapidity. On the one hand, these developments allow the possibility of economic prosperity, political freedom, promoting peace and democracy, but on the other hand, they can lead to social fragmentation, to the creation of critical vulnerabilities and to states of emergency or conflict. Local threats are now easily becoming regional or even global. For an efficient and effective response to these threats, security cooperation is absolutely necessary. There are global threats which regional cooperation cannot cope with, but there are also regional threats for which global cooperation does not have the necessary tools to counter, regional cooperation being more effective.
