About the Journal
Since its establishment, the National Defense College has carried out continuous training programs and after several transformations it now represents a unique structure, which offers through its postgraduate programs, the continuous professional training of the civilian and military personnel with decision-making positions in public agencies and in other institutions of security and defense, public order and national security, as well as in civil society.
The tradition, the prestige and the dynamism of the National Defense College have created, in its 28 years of activity, the foundation of some deep debates related to security, but also to the new geopolitical and geostrategic realities of today.
Within the scientific initiative STRATEGIES XXI, National Defence College organizes, in on-line format, the conference entitled „Romania and the new dynamics of international security”. The tradition and prestige of the „Carol I” National Defence University, doubled by the dynamics and professionalism of the National Defence College, provides the ideal setting for high-profile academic debates on current issues in specific fields such as national and international security, regional and global geopolitical, geoeconomical and geostrategic dynamics.
Dedicated to our objectives and status of excellence in the field of politico-military education in Romania, in 2021, as we did before, we will invite to the conference we organize, prominent personalities of academia, military and civil, national and international, mass-media representatives, graduates and students of the National Defence College, as follow:
a) Foreigners - researchers and professors from universities and institutes similar to National Defence College / "Carol I" National Defence University;
b) Romanians - military and civilian staff from: the Ministry of National Defence, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Romanian Intelligence Service, the Protection and Guard Service, the Ministry of National Education, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as teachers and researchers from military education and research institutions as well as civilian representatives of non-governmental organizations.
