Romania - A Key Actor for the Future Security Environment in Southeast Europe
Abstract
Based on its historical background and current events in the area , Romania will maintain the path of a strong commitment for democratic values and will play a key role for ensuring the stability of the security environment within the area. In a fragile and still divided European construct, which will have to face many political, military, and economic challenges in the near future, Romania has the opportunity to assume a leading role in the development and stability oftt1is region . To succeed , Romania must maintain focus on both its internal development and external credibility, bolstering the partnership with the United States and its full NATO membership, while using all the elements of its national power to bring the area at a common denominator. Romania's moderate approach is appropriate to reach a suitable solution for regional security, because its intention is not to dominate, but to ensure a stable climate through enhanced partnerships, cooperation , and mutual support. Additionally, history supports this approach, since there are no patterns for Romanian intention to dominate the area, while Romania's nonlinear but predictable evolution during last decades demonstrates its commitment to democratic values and behaviors.
