Abstract

We live in a new world, but there is neither new order nor disorder. There is a safety zone in Europe but also one of chaos and danger. What makes this world to be particularly difficult and dangerous is that different areas of order-disorder are interconnected through globalization. Before we can think of security requirements for today and tomorrow, we must forget yesterday's safety rules. A new world order could not become reality at all, but it may remain an ideal, especially for those living in the new European order. We must understand that we are not living in a world of pure and exclusive national interest. Human rights and humanitarian issues are inevitable in our political processes.
