TRENDS OF NATIONAL SECURITY AND EUROPEAN SECURITY PARADIGMS

Abstract

Studies upon the international and national techniques of security strategies inevitably lead to ascertaining their high complexity characterized by dynamism and permanent changes. Throughout history, security strategies have evolved in terms of doctrine and configuration of forces aiming to impose a certain state of security generated by the political aspects at the moment which makes it difficult to systematize and to show the importance of the theoretical phenomenon. In our case we consider that the history of national and international security strategies is based on 3 important patterns: ”alone against all”, ”us against the others” and ”guarantee of peaceful co-existence based on generally accepted principles".
