THE STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE AND THE ACTORS OF SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE
Journal Title: Journal of Defense Resources Management - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
There is no doubt regarding the importance that south-eastern Europe has gained over the past years in geopolitical and geostrategic terms. Due to its history and considering the changes that have taken place here after the fall of the Iron Curtain, and also as a consequence of the “hot spots” emerged here on ideological, political, economic and terrorist grounds, this part of the continent still is an area of control and interests confrontations orchestrated by the actors that provide the international affairs with a multipolar dimension. All the aforementioned factors lead to various phenomena in which individual or group interests result in regional as well as global consequences.
