THE TOPICALITY OF SECURITY DILEMMA’S SPIRAL MODEL IN ANALYSING THE INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Summary/Abstract: Although, in the current days, international interdependencies and interconnections are at an unprecedent level ˗ all these phenomena associated with globalization contributing to this state, which has determined the dilution of the spacetime representation mostly as a result of the last century evolutions, such as the ones in the field of transport and communications ˗ we do not see an increase in the stability of the international environment, but we are witnessing the emergence of many challenges in understanding its specific dynamics. Therefore, theoretical constructs, such as the one of security dilemma, are extremely useful because they can explain, at least partially, the development of certain types of tense relations between geopolitical actors in the international security environment. Thus, the present research aims to emphasise the topicality of this concept emerged in the 50s and to underline its current usefulness. To achieve this goal, the research is based particularly on the analysis of literature, but also on the statistical data analysis regarding conflict.
