Summary/Abstract: In the light of the current security environment, especially in the maritime environment, the present paper proposes to carry out an analysis of some maritime security strategies implemented worldwide, highlighting the distinct approaches adopted by various key actors in the field of maritime security. The final goal of this endeavour is to identify some relevant models of maritime security strategies and to analyse the opportunity for Romania to implement an appropriate model of maritime strategy. For the complete coverage of the subject addressed, were set the following objectives: the conceptual delimitation of the term strategy from the maritime security point of view, followed by the argumentation of the importance of international and regional cooperation in the maritime domain. Some examples of states that have implemented a National Maritime Security Strategy and their approach will be used as a working methodology, to identify models of Maritime Security Strategies that can also be adopted at the regional level. Also, the research looks at the adaptability of the maritime strategy in the context of technological progress. The novelty element of this article consists in the comparative analysis of the various models of Maritime Security Strategies, highlighting the unique aspects and particularities of each, at the same time offering a possible solution for Romania in the situation of initiating the procedures for the development of a national Maritime Security Strategy.
