GLOBALIZAREA CONCEPTULUI DE SECURITATE
GLOBALIZATION OF THE CONCEPT OF SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: Turn of into the twenty-first century has brought many changes in the world, at all levels, but especially in terms of security. The primary point of the beginning of this century is evidenced by the redistribution of power between the great actors of the world. By this redistribution of power, we basically witnessing at the creation of a unipolar international system. At present, the United States is the only state that has the power to support his interests in every corner of the world. At international level, reorganization is the main phenomenon of the new century. The concept of safety and security has been redefined in this time period. The intelligence services were indeed forced to adapt to new requirements and to work together to counteract new types of threats. These collaborations have come to place in an institutional framework such as NATO. Since 2004 Romania became a NATO member and was thus aligned to the operating rules of the organization. Then, in 2007, by joining the EU, Romania joined also the common security policy framework. In addition, NATO and the EU have a common policy of cooperation through Europol. Due to these influences the Romanian Intelligence Service received refreshed capabilities. And the new strategy of Romania after joining NATO and the EU is mainly focused on national security, according to common principles of both organizations.
