War and New Security Challenges

Početak 21. stoljeća obilježen je pojavom novih sigurnosnih izazova. Rat kao tradicionalni izvor ugrožavanja nacionalne i međunarodne sigurnosti prolazi transformaciju i u percepciji građana sve manje se doživljava kao realna opasnost. Njegovo mjesto zauzimaju novi sigurnosni izazovi. Svjetski mir i sigurnost, pored tradicionalnih prijetnji koje na njih mogu utjecati, u suvremenom dobu našli su se i pred novim izazovima sigurnosti, koji u bitnome određuju načine i mjere koje države i međunarodna zajednica moraju definirati i poduzeti u pogledu njihovoga suzbijanja.

New security challenges are taking its place. World peace and security as well as traditional threats, which could influence them, in modern age came across new security challenges, which determine way and measures which states and international community must define and undertake in order to stop them. Issues that in the past were believed to have no influence on the security of societies, as well as on the international security, by the end of the Cold war started to gain on significance. These are primarily: terrorism, ethnic conflicts, organized crime, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, rising economic disparities on the global level caused by neoliberal concept of earning, and the global warming
