Abstract:
Events in Europe in the last decades of the twentieth century (the fall of the
Berlin Wall, the unification of Germany, the abolition of the Warsaw Pact, the
collapse of the communist bloc and the USSR) led to a reconsideration of Eastern
European security. After the abolition of the Warsaw Pact, the ,,balance of power"
strategy in achieving security no longer works and, as such, the Eastern European
security system must be rebuilt in accordance with the new realities.
The tendencies regarding the reorganization of the European security system
are diverse and contradictory, each actor (state, group of states, organization)
wanting to occupy a more advantageous place in order to be able to promote
and, if necessary, to defend its own interests.
This article aims to determine the main definitions and theories of national and regional security in the context of Eastern European stability. Also the
authors are willing to identify some problems and trends in the region and to list
the main actors who are responsible for dealing with challenging issues and how
to avoid them.
