Summary/Abstract: The end of the Cold War prompted the recalibration of the concept of security, the theoretical debate ending by the assertion of the multidimensional perspective on security at the international level. Embracing this new viewpoint on security was imperative for the Romanian process of democratization. This change entailed also the need to create a new security culture, a difficult task undertaken too late by the Romanian authorities, situation caused by the delaying of the transition process itself, until 1996. Therefore, this paper aims, firstly, to clarify the concept of security, focusing on how it is defined by academics at the national level and, secondly, to identify the contribution that the academic programs of security studies had in spreading the knowledge and information related to security, essential elements of the formal dimension of security culture
