International Security

Introduction

Until the end of the Cold War was a bipolar world in which international security was preserved by a combined system of alliances, spheres of influence, regional and global multilateral institutions - including the United Nations - and, finally, a balance of power provided by nuclear deterrence. The main direction of theoretical research and political efforts aimed at overcoming the impasse that has arisen as a result of an arms race (the most concentrated expression of the Cold War), was aimed at creating a comprehensive system of collective security under UN auspices. Further investigation showed that such a system with major difficulties. They stem from the fact that a comprehensive collective security system must meet a number of burdensome conditions, among which, summing up the study of this problem, we can distinguish five groups: moral, legal, institutional, systemic and situational. Thus, in the first group are the moral conditions. They relate to the principles of non-use of force in conflicts arising between the two countries and the indivisibility of peace as a condition of interstate relations, as well as the impartiality of the "third party" (as that may be a separate state of the group, or international organizations) in addressing controversial issues. The disintegration of the Soviet empire has created a unipolar world that has radically changed the landscape of international security; with the disappearance of Cold War rivalry and a large number of old alliances and spheres of influence were associated.

Classic And Structural Realism

Classical realism, is the traditional mainstream approach to international relations, which originated in Europe. Structural realism or neorealism has tried to move away from classical realism abandoning its exclusive reliance or dependence on the history and offer a parsimonious model of world politics. Contemporary realism was originally developed as a reaction to the idealism of the interwar period. These two branches of realism anyway share basic assumptions. (Sam, 1998)

The "model" realistic perspective should be summarized by describing:

The units of analysis.

The nature of the international system.

The sum of all possible behaviors of the state standard.

The consequence of this situation.

Political Liberalism

The liberal paradigm is gradually formed in the depths of realism. With the end of the Cold War, the credibility of political realism has been severely shaken. Some of the representatives of neo-realism began to call themselves "liberal realists" or "utopian realists", thus demonstrating a willingness to revise certain provisions of certain realist paradigm, including the provisions on the nature of anarchy in international relations. (Dominik, 2008, PP: 56)

Many scientists in this direction, without questioning the realist thesis about the radical difference of political interactions within the state and the international arena, while at the same time believe that the whole nature of international relations is changing in the direction of "mature anarchy" in which the Western liberal-democratic States can play a role as guarantor of international security and progress are made available to all, including the weak states and ordinary ...
