Summary/Abstract: In this age of globalization, everything has planetary dimensions and implications. However, regarding the stability and crisis management, the most important are the areas in the first circle that is those from the direct border contact. This is one of the reasons the EU wants to have a security circle around it; that is why it has concluded or is about to conclude good neighbour agreements or strategic partnerships with all its neighbours within the European neighbourhood and partnership policy.One of the objectives of these agreements and partnerships is the protection against terrorist attacks and, respectively, the war against terrorism. As for the war against terrorism, there are no priorities or borders. The EU countries together with the USA, NATO countries and other countries are part of the antiterrorist coalition. Although the most effective strategies to counteract terrorism haven’t been established yet, the coalition’s actions against this scourge are not without results. One of the European security strategy provisions is that the first line of defence will be far away from own borders. This concept is very similar to the defence doctrine prior to the Cold War.Romania, apart from the area of interest representing the whole planet and the area bordering the EU and NATO (Romania being a bordering country to NATO and the EU), is very interested in the close neighbourhood and especially the conflict area in Transnistria, the border issues with Ukraine, the Black Sea area and the potential impact on the security environment in this area, the Caucasus and the Middle East terrorism.
