ACTUALITY AND PERSPECTIVES ON PEACE SUPPORT OPERATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The radical changes in the world security architecture, intervened at the end of the XXth century once the menace of East-West confrontation disappeared and at the beginning of the XXIst century following the terrorist attacks on September 2001 against USA, have rapidly succeeded. The political and geographical break up of continental framework, especially the European one, continuing or reactivation of some intrastate or interstate latent tensions, including several states within wider phenomenon of globalization – all these had a solid impact on the international security environment. The occurrence of new risks and threats towards the worldwide security has definitely required a new approach of addressing and responding to emergency situation or crises wherever they are. Conflict prevention and crises response activities have emerged as top priorities of the international community’s foreign affairs policy. As a result, a closer and enhanced cooperation among the state actors within and/or with international or regional security organizations – UN, OSCE, etc. – imperatively required a general revitalization of complex peace management processes at global level.
