Actual Context of Global and European Security

Abstract

The focus of the research is European security. European Union is threatened not only through global threats but also through numerous Europe-specific problems. Besides the universal risk factors, changing of the dangers, crystallization of defense processes, rules of integration, transatlantic connections and dialectics of power centers are also issues to keep under control. This study’s goals are to briefly identify the motivation for priorities, research the global security challenges and relevant international processes that characterize and influence European security and European defense establishment. The topics of this paper are security challenges, risk factors, their revisions, and how they fundamentally impact absolute security values. The author develops the effects of risk factors in two chapters, from generic toward specific, followed by global and European security dimensions, concluding with a comparison of the two. Finally in the third chapter the author analyses and evaluates the potential alternatives of European security and defense establishment.
