NATO, redefinition of security and Croatia

Dobriša Skok ; Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The issue of security is one of the fundamental postulates of the UN system, but also of members of the NATO Alliance. The changes in the world balance of powers and disappearance of the bipolar world have made the NATO Alliance redefine its scope of operation, but also its tasks expected in the light of new threats and challenges. The role of the Alliance is interwoven with and supplemented by the establishment of a new political factor – the European Union. In the context of new precepts of the world and provision of security, the Republic of Croatia is undergoing a process of involvement in the system of regional and world security, which also includes all hazards that this active accession to NATO and the EU brings about.
