Sažetak
The regional geopolitical area of South East Europe (SEE) of today surrounding the Republic of Croatia (RoC) inevitably influences its security environment. That area was formed mostly through transitional changes, primarily as the result of the breakup of one-party systems in the countries such as Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, and others. Multi-party systems, both real and bogus, have brought to the SEE countries some positive changes, yet there are still very present tendencies to return to the old ways of security patterns, albeit under new, Americanised names. The development of new strategic paradigms in the contemporary world must recognize hybrid warfare as an important and unavoidable risk for exploiting vulnerabilities of the state and society, so we must primarily recognize our weaknesses to be taken into account when assessing threats. The goal of this paper is to offer the new security paradigm of RoC to the other SEE countries facing similar challenges, as a model for a way out of the used-up organisational forms and obsolete security patterns. The paper discusses new development directions and ways to step out of the existing inherited security concepts through the switch of the security paradigm in a manner that is based on national objectives, on the change of attitude towards the intellectual capital and its role in the development of security models and systems, and on the functional and organisational combination of the research capacities.
