Political Economic

The Gulf of Guinea is a region that that draws a lot of interest to many nations in Latin America, Europe and West Africa. It is because these countries depend on this region for conducting their business. Most of the countries export their products and import other goods through the Atlantic Ocean (Ali, 2017). The discovery of oil in Nigeria led to increased business transaction in this region and thus, the development of the economy. However, it also led to the rise of piracy, which affected the maritime security of the area. Many ships and other sea vessels have been affected by the acts of pirates who attack the ships and steal the content being transported. Sometimes they could also hijack these vessels and demand for ransom for them to be released. The ability to counterattack the pirates and robberies in this region is affected by factors which range from political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental. Matters such weak governments and poor implementation of the laws and conventions make the countries in the region to lack ability to tackle pirates in the sea and thus have to rely on the international security agencies like Interpol policing and other forces to help in providing security in the sea (Hasan, & Hassan, 2016). Increase in population, lack of unemployment, and poverty are also some of the things which makes many youths in the region to participate in these criminal activities because they lack something constructive, which can generate income.

Public Expression

Ecopolitics entered political discourse firstly as an alternative debate to mainstream politics and ideological refutation of the established political order, and that way gained public expression in social movements of contestation. Subsequently, it emerged intertwined in the discourse of party politics and finally came to reach the core of contemporary political systems and their political agendas. The construction and the spreading of the ecopolitical discourse are addressed in the first part of the article. The way it entered the field of public policies is the core concern of the second part, with a focus on international and global security policies. Ecopolitical thinking has contributed to a shift in international security paradigms, from the conventional, realist and state-centred national security paradigm to approaches that privilege human security and global sustainability. To the end, the article reviews extant policy areas connecting environment with security.

Globalizacija je bistveno spremenila mednarodno varnostno arhitekturo. Globoke reforme nacionalnovarnostnih sistemov, ki se osredotočajo predvsem na vedno višjo profesionalizacijo in specializacijo, so postale nujna posledica. Pa vendar je, če želimo zagotoviti neko stopnjo varnosti, pogoj nedvomno osebni motiv oziroma motivacija posameznika tako pred vstopom kakor pri opravljanju nalog znotraj nacionalnovarnostnega sistema. Motivacija pa bolj kot kjer koli drugod izhaja iz občutka domoljubja pri posamezniku, zato države domoljubju v sodobnih nacionalnovarnostnih sistemih namenjajo veliko pozornosti. Vprašanje je, ali se tako vedenje preslikava v civilno družbo, katere pomemben del je nacionalnovarnostni sistem. Še posebno zanimivo je ugotavljati povezavo med mladimi in domoljubjem ter nacionalno varnostjo, saj je tudi od tega odnosa odvisna prihodnost nacionalnovarnostnega sistema kot tudi prihodnjega zagotavljanja varnosti. Rezultati kažejo zaskrbljujoč odnos mladih do vprašanj vojske in vojaških zadev ter politike in političnih zadev. Globalization has significantly changed the international security architecture. Radical reforms of national security systems have become a necessary consequence, focusing mainly on the higher level of professionalization and specialization. However, in order to ensure a certain level of security, the pre-condition undoubtedly lies in the personal motive or motivation of individuals both, before they join the military service and when they perform duties within the national security system. Motivation, more than anything else, derives from an individual's sense of patriotism. Therefore, individual countries devote a lot of attention to patriotism in modern national-security systems. At this point the question arises whether such behaviour is reflected also in the civil society, whose important part is the national security system. It is particularly interesting to determine a connection between the youth, patriotism and national security, as this relationship is important for the future of both, the national security system and provision of security.

Ukrainian Crisis

The events in Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea, and the Russian attitude towards Ukraine show an evident change in European relations. The escalation of conflict between Russia and Ukraine however does not affect only those two countries, but also those in the nearest vicinity. Especially in Scandinavian and Nordic countries change in social ambience can be observed. The aim of this article is essentially to analyze Swedish reaction to the Ukrainian Crisis, the change in Swedish attitude towards international security systems, especially NATO, and Swedish perception of its national safety.

This chapter has a dual purpose: first, it is intended to demonstrate the need and usefulness of Complex systems theories and, in this context, what we call an “Eclectic Approach” for analysing and theorising about International Relations and security; second, it aims to characterise the contemporary international security system. We also develop two basic arguments: that the reality is too complex, heterogeneous and varied to fit into theories that purport to interpret exclusively in the light of its previous cognitive structures; and that the contemporary international security system is a complex of international security systems – competitive, cooperative, collective, and security communities.

While success in current and future conflicts will increasingly be predicated by optimisation of high-tech solutions rather than military capabilities based on mass, the application of modern business approaches is of key importance for reforms aiming to adapt security and defence to the new realities. This article presents detailed analysis of ways to adapt the security and defence sector of Ukraine to Euro-Atlantic standards, taking into account Ukraine’s trajectory and growing interaction with the international security systems and the specific context shaped by the external aggression against Ukraine. Based on the analysis of existing legislation and review of theoretical sources, the author concludes that the present archaic, post-Soviet type security and defence sector of Ukraine is not adequate to the future complex challenges. Further, he applies the ecosystem approach to elaborate recommendations for the development of a modern model of national security and defence organisation based on functional integration of the capabilities of all main security and defence actors, emphasising the strategic importance of the integration of Ukraine’s security and defence sector into European and Euro-Atlantic security systems.
