POSSIBLE COORDINATES FOR A STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENT
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2008, Vol 28, Issue 3
Abstract
The contemporary military phenomenon evolves on uncertain and even chaotic coordinates, as the whole human society does. As a matter of fact, this phenomenon is a contrasting reality, situated somewhere between the attempts to keep a military or political-military status quo – the one after the big worldwide conflagration -, a stage that has been completely overcome, except one aspect – the history and the collective memory, the intentions of building a fragile strategic balance, not based on denials and a total trust (that is unlikely on Earth), but maintaining and even stressing out the differences. Unfortunately, the differences are not optional and benevolent constructs, but effects of millennia of innequalities, distorsions, tensions, crisis, conflicts and wars. This is how our world is tailored, and the change does not consist of averting differences, but in their fair and effective management. The contemporary military phenomenon cannot escape from history, economical, financial determinations, or the ones specific to the conflict security architecture (insecurity) that the powerful operate with and the ones who have to bear it feel powerless. Therefore, beyond the fact that such a phenomenon cannot be but complex, complicated, contradictory and very dangerous, it has and will always have unpredictable evolutions, that turns it into something dreadfully, difficlut to understand and hard to manage. Even if it is generated and somehow managed by politics, as the military phenomenon is always related to the political one, as it is its military expression – in a way, it will have to adapt on its coordinates, exigencies and requirements, as the power of force is not in the political arena, but in the military one, while the force of power is always in the politics’ service.
