Proceedings of the 17th International Scientific Conference "Strategies XXI" - Strategic Changes in Security and International Relations

Abstract

Strategies XXI has reached its 17th edition in 2021. Over the years, we have seen topics such as the economic crisis, jihadist terrorism, the wave of immigration or Russia's intervention in Crimea temporarily take over the international public consciousness. In the ever changing flow of events what remained constant has been our determination to serve as an international forum for analysis and debate of major international relations, security, and defense challenges.

The present volume hosts the papers presented in the conference organized on 15-16th of April by the Security and Defence Faculty of “Carol” I National Defence University in Bucharest. Held in a virtual format, the Conference brought together 100+ participants from 9 countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Poland, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, and Turkey) who throughout the 2 days of the event delivered keynote speeches or presented papers. This year we were honoured to have among us Mr. Carol Teodor Peterfi (Nobel Prize Laureate with the OPCW) and Mr. Dirk Dubois (Head of the European Security and Defence College).
