Historical Trajectory

This chapter assesses sanctions as a (global) security governance tool. Law is an obvious tool for ‘security governance’, and ‘sanctions’ are an inextricable element of law. The chapter begins by discussing the meaning of sanctions and (global) security. It then traces the historical trajectory in the use of collective and unilateral sanctions in the service of security. It argues that global security is nothing but national security projected onto the international plane. When a hegemonic concept of security—that is to say, of the existential threats ‘we’ need to protect against—is imposed and accepted, and for as long as it is accepted, collective sanctions rule supreme and can be particularly effective. When there is fragmentation and antagonism as to what the threats are, when there is no hegemonic national security accepted as synonymous to international security, there is a return to unilateral sanctions and a concomitant sidelining of collective security mechanisms.

Introduction. Under the influence of globalization and regionalization; the world economic development is becoming more dynamic but contradictory at the same time; creating new challenges and threats for both individual countries and entire regions. This exacerbates the urgency of forming flexible systems of security cooperation and finding solutions to regional and global security problems. Purpose. The purpose of the paper is to systematize research on regional and global security governance and a review of the balance of geopolitical forces in Europe. Methods. The research was carried out using the following methods: analysis and synthesis – to characterize the modern mainstream of theoretical intelligence in the field of regional security; comparative analysis – to compare the structures of regional security management in different parts of the world; deductions and inductions – to form a conceptual model of global governance; tabular and visual methods – for visual presentation of the material. Results. The paper considers theoretical approaches to the interpretation of regional security. It is noted that regional security governance is a set of institutions and activities at three levels: global; regional and national. A nomenclature of different types of regional security governance structures is presented; which includes a regional balance of power and ad hoc (informal) alliances; regional coherence; regional cooperative security; regional collective defense; regional collective security; pluralistic security community. It has been recognized that regional security management is provided not only by highly specialized or formal structures; but also by multi-purpose regional organizations; which initially pursued a combination of economic and political goals with growing security targets. Conceptual options for regional security governance at the global and regional levels are systematized. Based on the analysis of the mechanisms of global management; own vision of the relationship between the subjects of global governance processes is presented. Discussion. The crisis of recent decades has shown that no single group of global governance actors can act effectively to minimize global risks; which are both a challenge for business leaders and politicians in any country. That is why it is undeniable that global issues require global governance (especially in the field of security); the main goal of which should be to ensure global stability and sustainable development.

The Impact

Global security, as a concept, has developed on the basis of international legislation on the national security of states, but also on international humanitarian law, which focus on the protection of global harmony and sustainable development. The national and international political system, in the phase of overcoming crises, in correlation with the challenges and threats to global security, acquires new valences and functions, given that international bodies, supported by national state structures, are forced to face the intensification of evolution. alignment of the world balance. As current threats of a global nature, but manifested locally and in connection with the national security of the Republic of Moldova were identified as: poverty, economic underdevelopment and energy dependence, transnistrian conflict, tensions in the area and foreign military presence, external coercion, the criminogenic factor, corruption, the demographic problem and the exacerbation of the migration phenomenon, population health, natural disasters, environmental pollution, technogenic accidents, information insecurity, instability of the financial-banking system.

AbstractHow do public protests emerge and become impotent? Inspired by Žižek's ideology critique, the article examines the ideological underpinnings of contemporary public-private security governance and suggests that worried, complaining subjects are a product of a dominant discourse of expert knowledge and technification. It then introduces three Žižekian dynamics that prevent protests from challenging the prevailing discourse – particularisation, ultra-politics, and cynicism – and illustrates these dynamic through a case study of the history of public complaints about Facebook. The article suggests that Facebook communicates through a discourse of technification whereby it constantly invents technological fixes unable to satisfy the complaints. The article further suggests that Facebook turning into a national security partner in the fight against terrorism online prevents complaints from becoming universalised by rendering even particularised privacy contestations illegitimate. This is reinforced, the article argues, by the subject's cynical enjoyment; that is, the ‘letting off steam’ on Facebook while criticising it.

The Relationship

Just as the ideas of arms control comprise a picnic basket for sunny international weather, so much of the allegedly ‘new thinking‘ on strategy and security claims to have ‘matched us with His hour’.1 The challenge, purportedly is between realist and ‘transformationist‘ approaches to security,2 between national security and common (or global) security,3 and – of course – between old and new thinking. We are told that ‘[t]here is scope to change the strategic culture of world politics’.4 Some of us old thinkers are a little puzzled by the content of a quotation such as that, since the same authors have written breezily and optimistically, albeit contingently, to be fair, that ‘[t]he “nature” of the [international] system would be changed because of the changed conceptions – strategic cultures – of the units‘.5 The relationship between strategic culture and cultures would stand some careful discussion, while the merit in the claim that there is scope to change ‘the strategic culture of world politics’, whatever that very big idea may mean, remains to be seen.6

The article analyzes the concept of terrorism and identifies the reasons for the ambiguity and number of approaches to the essence of the term. The essence of the concept of "terrorism" is considered from different positions, namely: as a type of organized crime of sociopolitical nature, as a sociopolitical phenomenon, as a threat to national and global economies, as a result of social, political, economic and territorial conflicts. Subjective and objective causes and signs of terrorism are identified. An information model of terrorism as a threat to national and global security has been developed. The symptoms of the problem of preventing and counteracting the financing of terrorism and the consequences it causes have been studied. Peculiarities of public administration in the field of prevention and counteraction to terrorist financing are determined. Keywords: terrorism, threat, national security, counteraction to terrorism.
