THE IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZING A NATIONAL AGENCY FOR DEFENSE AGAINST UNCONVENTIONAL AND ASYMMETRIC ACTIONS

Summary/Abstract: The increasingly numerous and sometimes unpredictable challenges, which characterize the contemporary security environment, came partially due to the rapid evolution of technology and also because of the expansion of the theater of conflict in other dimensions than the physical dimension – all that causes made it very difficult to ensure the needs of security and defense of states and communities/alliances of states, and will continue to create that effect in the nearest or remote future. Among these new and severe current challenges are the hybrid military actions or the unconventional and asymmetric actions. Most often, the traditional security and defense systems are not capable enough to respond effectively to such challenges, or in some cases are even incapable of giving any reply, however small. Therefore it becomes imperative to look for new ways to meet these challenges, also covering the needs for security and making compatible the defense system for the new forms of conflict in a multidimensional environment.
