Considering the lessons identifi ed while analysing the confl ict in Ukraine and the major impact of the war on the regional and European security environment, NATO/EU countries decided to accelerate the process of strenghtening their national defense posture. Poland has assumed a leading role in consolidating the operational capabilities of its armed forces via revision of strategic planning in the area of defense and security, pledging to raise the defense expenditures in the next years and signing major military procurement deals. These developments raise the perspective of massive aquisition of new capabilites and a likely role for Poland as the main regional military power [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The transatlantic relationship is currently facing several challenges posed by both structural factors and divergent views on the future of security architecture. The new era of great power competition (a concept that symbolizes the strategic rivalry between the U.S.A., China, Russia and, possibly, Europe/EU) has the potential to significantly change the global dynamics, including by re-evaluating traditional alliances and forming others, a framework that imposes the need to analyze the impact on transatlantic relations, in general, and on Romania’s security interests. According to the National Strategy for the Defense of the Country (2020- 2024), Romania assumes an increased role abroad for strengthening the transatlantic partnership and ensuring the coherence of NATO-EU action. In the context, this paper aims to analyze the implications on Romania’s national security, derived from the redefinition of the transatlantic relationship and the adaptation processes that are currently taking place at NATO and EU level.

The interwar period in Romania was characterized by the emergence and rise of several far-right groups with a nationalist touch. They carried out real anti-Semitic campaigns, thus looking for the culprits for the multiple persistent social and political problems in Romania. The anti-Semitic message escalated to the point of advancing conspiracy theories in which Freemasonry was a basic element. One of the most visible far-right organizations was the League of Christian National Defense, which also published the magazine „Romanian Brotherhood". This publication appeared in Cluj, between 1925-1931. In its pages, real anti-Semitic campaigns took place, with a radical character, even reaching violent exhortations. In the present study we will be able to follow the escalation of the anti-masonic message in the pages of the magazine, trying to make a correlation of the texts with the socio-political realities of the time. Thus we will be able to observe the manipulation methods used, reaching the climax, the triggering of a real witch hunt, or more precisely in this case, a Freemason hunt. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The common defence, the arms market and industry figure among the most complex topics of European integration, given that, through those topics, the problematic issues of political integration and more particularly the integration of the tools of sovereignty are posed. Nevertheless, a common European defence market doesn't seem to be a taboo in Brussels anymore, but an essential condition for more coherence and efficiency inside the CSDP. There is a growing acceptance of the need for a common European defence effort, for ways to maximize armaments cooperation and to pool resources in the defence industry. The analysis undertaken offers an overview of the European defence sector, the dynamics of the European defence market, as well as the evolution of the European efforts to promote cooperation and integration in this sector. Lastly, some recommendations are made concerning the measures that could be taken at the European level in the short and medium term, in order to promote a strong and competitive European defence industrial base.

The rise of China to superpower status with the Cold War end has placed Chinese security interests at the forefront of global policy. For military analyst, the fundamental level of explanation is the armed forces -impressive by number and technical equipment. For security analyst, fundamental theme is found into the analysis of economic and political support behind the Chinese military power. But little has been addressed the relationship between centers of strategic and security thinking (think-tanks) and Chinese security policies. What is the mission, structure and material and intellectual capacity of these think-tanks? What is their institutional subordination, and how much freedom of thought can say in an authoritarian political system? What is their influential capacity on policy makers and how much of their security policy proposals become reality? These questions were formulated and for them try this articole to get some answers.
