Irregular Warfare And (In)Security In The Horn Of Africa
Authors: Herţa Laura-Maria 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The paper will focus on the transformation of war (associated with phenomena such as human displacement, famine, violence against civilians, and commercialization of military troops) and on the refugee flows and insecurity within refugee camps which amount to humanitarian tragedies. The second chief aim of this paper is to investigate tenets of the extended analytical framework of security and to emphasize the relevance of constructivist and critical security studies. The pivotal line of arguments will revolve around specificities of violent conflict in the Horn of Africa which trigger the need to revisit mainstream approaches on state security by analyzing intra-state (and internationalized) violence and by including types of post-colonial insecurity, food insecurity and environmental degradation. The main underlying research question is: why is human security a valid framework of analysis in the case of irregular warfare in the Horn of Africa?

Authors: Ispas Lucian , Ratiu Aurelian , Neag Mihai-Marcel 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Post-conflict operations may be conducted prior to the complete end of a conflict. The past experience shows that it is most effective for these operations to be conducted when there is an acceptable security situation. The security aspect of post-conflict operations is based on the coordinating issue for beginning and maintaining such operations in which the military and civilian personnel are involved.
Military Advisors Teams Mission Readiness Self-Assessment Methods
Authors: Krastev Krastyu Ivanov 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
To meet the verification requirements of the Enforcement Principle, every training organization may verify the results of the conducted training. Our research hypothesis is that by implementation of the proper self-assessment methods the final results of the military advisors mission training could be more objective, than by using the “classical” assessment methodology containing only the marks of the combat training instructors. Some research results of the military advisors teams’ mission readiness level are presented in the following paper.

Greece’s Military Importance For The European Union
Authors: Pricopi Marius 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Having won the legislative elections in Greece on January 25, 2015, the leader of the radical party SYRIZA now aims for reducing austerity in his country, even though this might result in the exit of Greece from the Eurozone. A Greek exit will definitely have major economic consequences, which will also affect the country’s defence budget and its European military stance. Taking into account such a turn of events, in this paper we analyse the military importance of Greece for the European Union. The analysis is conducted using, as main methodological instrument, the European Index of Military Integration.
Causes And Determinations Of Security Risk - Analysis And Perspective Of Conflicts In Ukraine
Authors: Răşinar Laura-Lucia 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Risks are difficult to combat, especially when they are diverse and influenced by so many factors from the security environment. Because of the rapid and dynamic changes, risks are important to be discovered, understood and eliminated. The main problem is how to anticipate them and prevent any bad event to happen. This shows the importance of intelligence services and cooperation between states in assuring security to prevent conflicts. Any conflict is considered to be the result of poor communication and cooperation between states and low efficiency in anticipating the evolution of international relationships in the area. How could everything evolve in Ukraine in a better environment of communication and prevention? How could the risks and crisis be avoided and what kind of effects can we pass in review today? But the most important aspect remains how to never let this happen again.
Opinions Regarding The New Challenges To The Critical Infrastructures
Authors: Udeanu Gheorghe 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
In Romania, the protection of critical infrastructure is seen as a dynamic process, with a variable geometry, which requires constant reporting to the various types of threats of the external environment: terrorism, organized crime, illegal migration, border insecurity, etc.
For this reason, any process of designing/redesigning the concept of national critical infrastructure protection should relate to the complexity and the fluidity of the present international security environment and the fundamental reason of any initiative regarding this process is enhancing the status of “vector of stability” at the Eastern border of the European Union and NATO, considering that many of the transnational threats facing Europe originate from this area.
A New Approach To The European Programme For Critical Infrastructure Protection
Authors: Udeanu Gheorghe 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Critical infrastructure protection is the only way of ensuring the continuity of critical services in the society. A European critical infrastructure means “an asset, a system or part of it, located on the territory of the Member States, which is essential for the maintenance of vital societal functions, health, safety, security, economic or social well-being of people, and the disruption or destruction of which would have a significant impact in a Member State as a result of the failure to maintain those functions [1].”
To ensure a high level of protection of the European critical infrastructures and by increasing their resilience (against all of the threats and hazards) the consequences of the loss of services of the society as a whole can be reduced. At the same time, these are the objectives of the Stockholm Program [2] and of the National Security Strategy of the European Union [3].

Empathic And Assertive Communication. Efficient Communication Developments
Authors: Ilie Oana-Antonia , Metea Ileana-Gentilia 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
We are always confronted with situations in which prevailing socially is strictly a matter of conversational technique. First, empathy and the mirroring of the other's emotional states and gestures is a must of efficient communication. Secondly, in order to prevent conflict situations one must learn to communicate assertively. Empathic communication is the ability or talent of knowing what other people feel and is essential when we want to produce or generate feedback. Assertive communication refers to the ability to express feelings and choices in a way that the self-esteem and feelings of others are not affected. A person who has these communicative competences will know to express wishes and feelings, to refuse and express opinions without offending the others, while maintaining a favorable impression and self-control.
To Speak And To Act. Language As A Means Of Producing Social Change
Authors: Ilie Oana-Antonia 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The performativity theory starts from a critique of the descriptivist and representation a list theory of language, thus, language and word use cease to appear as mere modalities of describing the world and our connection with the environment, and become a manner of acting and of producing action. Prefigured in the Theory of Communicative Action of J.L. Austin, further analyzed by J. R. Searle and other pragmatists, the illocutionary speech acts make the distinction between the content of an expression and the action that we undertake through it. Their transformation in action is a transition from the assertion plan to the realization plan, through the explicit performative utterances (“I order you to”, “I ask you to”, “I solicit that you”).
Opinions Regarding The Decision-Making Process For Military Logistics At Peace Time
Authors: Milandru Marius 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
During peace time military logistics is designated to ensure and maintain conditions in order for military units to fullfil their missions, objectives and tasks and comprises the following domains: supply, maintenance, movement and transportation, services (food, accomodation, equipment), medical. Logistic decision holds a central role inside management process, this has to be approached through conceptual delimitations and role, involving the existence of many alternatives in order to facilitate the efficient one. Decision is to select a subset of the set of non-dominant variants of variant decision reviewed by the decider, which must include a number of actions that formulates the problem and seeks to identify its solution. Foundation and quality of decisions prepared in an organization depend on many variables, from the level of training of manager to the structuring of authority within the organization. Analysis of potential issues that may face the organization concentrates on prospective nature, on anticipatory process of establishment of decisions, which is the central moment of each management process.

Financial Provisioning - Basis Of Strategic Decisions Of Themanagement Of Resources For Security And Defence
Authors: Dimitrova Sevdalina , Terziev Venelin 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The strategic decisions defining the defence capabilities that are necessary for our country in response to the dynamic changes in the security environment are directly related to the question “How much?” concerning the price that taxpayers should pay for the creation and development of those capabilities. Since security and defense constitute a public good whose creation is entirely dependent on the economic potential, on the GDP of the country, the manifestation of the price of that good is the budget of the Defence Ministry. This calls for the implementation of a system and tools, appropriate for budget resource management in order to ensure the increase of the added value of defence capabilities.
Equal Pay As An Objective Of Gender Equality
Authors: Florişteanu Elena , Florişteanu Ioan Dragoş 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The increasing attention granted to improving gender equality in all the economic and social sectors, on all levels, is manifested in concrete actions undertaken by both different international bodies and national authorities. Even though the majority of EU member states have adopted the necessary legislative framework to ensure gender equality, the practical application of wage equality still remains a real problem. Studies in the field show that in Romania, remuneration differences between men and women are much lower in comparison to other states, but the effects are fully felt due to the low level of wages present on the internal labor market.
Climate Change – Probable Socio-Economic Systems (SES) Implications And Impacts In The Anthropocene Epoch
Authors: Gilder Eric , Pal Dilip K. 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
It is vital for security experts to learn from the historical records of global climate change as to how the human society has been impacted by its consequences in the “new” Anthropocene Epoch. Some of these consequences of global climate change include the perishing of several human settlements in different parts of the globe at different times, e.g., in 1700 B.C., prolonged drought contributed to the demise of Harappan civilization in northwest India. In 1200 B.C., under a similar climatic extremity, the Mycenaean civilization in present-day Greece (as well as the Mill Creek culture of the northwestern part of the present-day US state of Iowa) perished. Why did some societies under such climatic events perish while others survived? Lack of preparedness of one society and its failure to anticipate and adapt to the extreme climatic events might have attributed to their extinction. The authors will also analyze the extinction of one European Norse society in Greenland during the Little Ice Age (about 600 years ago), as compared to the still-surviving Inuit society in the northern segment of Greenland, which faced even harsher climatic conditions during the Little Ice Age than the extinct Norsemen. This is how the adaptability and “expectation of the worst” matter for the survival of a particular community against climatic “black swan” events (Taleb, 2007). Similar impacts in terms of sea-level rise expected by the year 2100 whereby major human populations of many parts of the world are expected to lose their environmental evolutionary “niche” will be discussed. Rising temperature will not only complicate human health issues, but also will it take its toll on the staple food producing agricultural belts in some latitudinal expanse. It will also worsen the living condition of the populace living in areas where climate is marginal.
Through the Socio-Economic Systems Model provided by Vadineanu (2001), the authors will next consider the effect of extant policy-making “prisms” responding to climate change (such as the “Club of Rome” versus the “Club for Growth” visions) as concerns the ongoing process of globalization and survival of the nation-state.
Value Investing - Essence And Ways Of Finding Undervalued Assets
Authors: Petrova Elitsa 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Efficient market hypothesis considers that because many talented analysts constantly searching the market for the deals in a short period, after a certain point of time there are not so attractive deals. According to the hypothesis, successful investors owe their success more to luck than to their skills. The paper presents the Value investing. Value investing is an investment paradigm, which stems from the ideas of Benjamin Graham and David Dodd. The proponents, including the chairperson of Berkshire Hathaway Warren Buffett, argue that the essence of value investing is to buy shares at a price lower than their true value. The difference between the market price and intrinsic value of the stock Graham called the “margin of safety”.
Short Considerations On The Integrated Defense Procurement Management System Of Romania
Authors: Popa Ioan Gabriel , Stanciu Leontin 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
In the current context and along with the emergence and implementation of the Government Emergency Ordinance no. 114/2011 regarding the award of certain public contracts in the fields of defense and security, ordinance imposing the mandatory application of art. 288 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union concerning the transposition of the Union’s directives, both purchases of products, works and services and the purchase of military products are regulated. In order to implement this ordinance, the MoD is “asked” to rethink the whole system of defense procurement. In my opinion, the current Integrated Defense Procurement Management System (IDAMS) consists of Technical-Operational Requirements System, Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Evaluation System, and Integrated Procurement Management System even if it has introduced a series of instructions, policies, principles and procedures based on defense procurements and respond only partially to the current reality specifically referring to the purchase of arms and ammunition from their own production and less to their procurement from external suppliers. For this reason, we believe that IDAMS must be known and understood, which is exactly what the article below intends to de, and ultimately, this system should be changed, the by amending general and specific legislation.
Consumption And Demand For Goods
Authors: Văduva Maria 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The free development of the economic activity imposes to establish a relation of subordination of the means by the purposes. The consumption appears both as triggering and simulating element of production, and as control element of this, being the one generating the quantitative and qualitative determinations, and also the sense and intensity of the rhythms where they develop and cyclically resume. The consumption, which is the level where people reach their material purposes generated by the economic interests, must be the fundamental element in conceiving and developing the economic activity.
The link between consumption and market is made through the demand for goods containing a large and complex bid of actions from the consumption field that is going to be performed in the market, making of this a barometer of economic and social development.
When following the internal evolution of consumption, it presents a high degree of interest to surprise the consumption habits and to project its future structures in order to define the evolutionary coordinates of the commercial activity, being the motor force of the production, signifying wear and destruction, involving the change of goods and services consumed with new created goods and services.
