Pe buza prăpastiei. De la mare la mic, noi riscuri de securitate
Nearing the Disaster. From small to big perspectives, new security risks

Summary/Abstract: The world is transforming itself faster and in a more and more radical manner. The Brexit, the US President’s enthusiasm, the complications of the Korean conflict, the complexity of the situation in Syria, the North African and Middle East migrations, the evolvement and restauration in China, Japan’s desire to keep up the pace, are only a few of the signals of these transformations in the recent period. Above all, the aggressive policy of the Russian Federation, used to neglect its own international agreements to maintain its Great Power status globally. Still, as a projection of these major changes able to induce major worries, the idea of abandoning (de facto, sometimes de jure) the systems of values, on which the fragile international order has been based, is coming up more and more. This study tries to describe this situation and to evaluate the real dimensions of the dangers of a major conflict. Having in mind the complexity of this subject, the study has been structured in two parts, trying to focus the first part on the macro level, respectively on the increasing entropy at the macro level (globally and European-wide). In general, we intend to demonstrate that the actual situation is not radically different to that which existed years ago, the main worry coming from the change of perspectives of the Great Powers towards solving internal problems through external actions and statements.
