THE THREATS AGAINST INTERNATIONAL/NATIONAL SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: The concept of security has never had a static nature, but after the end of the Cold War, it has become more fluid in nature, and this feature probably will continue into the 21st century. Nowadays we are currentlyassisting to a redefinition of security rules and the role of international institutions.The conception of international relations, international security paradigm, the way the threats are perceived and defined, and the methods to prevent and combat them have fundamentally changed, especially after the September 11 attacks.Nowadays, the new hazards and threats to international security do not recognize national borders, are ofteninterconnected and require increasingly more international cooperation to counter them. No state, no matter how powerful, has the capacity to ensure alone its invulnerability to new threats.
