Military Power + Military Ethics = Information Operations |
MACCUISH Donald A. |
| Associate Professor, Strategy, Leadership, and Military Ethics/ Air Command and Staff College |
| Abstract |
| Traditionally, nation states, and for that matter non-state actors as well, have used military power as the primary means of furthering their political interests. I argue that the application of military power must be in harmony with one’s information narrative. If military and paramilitary personnel violate codes of behavior, then the information message is diminished. If I am correct then perhaps we should reframe and teach military ethics as part of the information campaign. |

GLOCAL CURRENCIES: A SPECIAL FOCUS ON ITALIAN COMMUNITIES AND EXPERIMENTS |
BRAGAZZI Nicola Luigi |
| Dr, School of Public Health, Department of Health Sciences (DISSAL)/ University of Genoa |
| Abstract |
| Glocalization is a term introduced into the sociological literature by Roland Robertson and Zygmunt Bauman to indicate “the simultaneity - the co-presence - of both universalizing and particularizing tendenciesâ€. Indeed, nowadays in a context of financial and economical crisis glocalization appears to be more and more urgent since new kinds of “glocal currencies†(glocal, in the sense of being local but inspired by a global sense of justice and welfare) and “glocal business†could be the key to overcome the hurdles encountered in the common everyday life. In fact new micro-credit based experiments and business, like MyBnk launched by the Italian Lily Lapenna in London or the Italian KivaMap, are becoming more common and widespread. In this contribution we study and analyze examples in Italian communities like new currencies like Sardex, Dropis or Scec and micro-credit bases business. We believe that this is a way to make what John Hicks claimed come true : “money is defined by its functions. . . money is what money doesâ€. |

GLOCALIZATION: THE NEW ESTABLISHED TREND AFTER GLOBALIZATION? |
BRAGAZZI Nicola Luigi |
| Dr, School of Public Health, Department of Health Sciences (DISSAL)/ University of Genoa |
| Abstract |
| Glocalization is a term introduced into the sociological literature by Roland Robertson and Zygmunt Bauman to indicate “the simultaneity - the co-presence - of both universalizing and particularizing tendencies â€. If Coca Cola or McDonald invading Tiennamen square and colliding with Mao have been described as crucial example of the globalization process, now we look at intriguing contamination of these global symbols, a declination of them enveloped by the local atmosphere and culture. So thanks also to Slow Food Movement (inspired by Carlo Petrini) global fast food is served using local ingredients (like McFalafel), in such a way that even if global at the beginning the meal has now become local and to a certain extent unique. In a different field, all global languages (like English, Latin or Esperanto more recently) that have been created or were born in order to dominate all over the world have failed, and new local languages created by single authors are being developed, also to convey micro-meanings or micro-sentences. But glocal currencies and even glocal languages are different faces of the same medal: they represent the intrinsic need of man to rediscover the own Self and to make heard his voice, among many other voices. |

| Abstract |
| Poverty and violence have eaten deep the polity of Nigeria. This is evident from the fact that economic situation of the country is faced with numerous challenges. The paper is an attempt to investigate whether small arms proliferations in northern Nigeria have economic and political causes. It becomes a fashion among politicians to mobilize unemployed youth for political and socio-religious disturbances in order to actualize their personal gains Part of the outcomes of the problem is the spread of arms and ammunitions among political thugs which also left majority of the populace in a state of terror. The paper has explained the influence of poverty on youth restiveness in the Northern part of Nigeria, particularly its implications on proliferation of small arms. It is obvious that such phenomenon can be a threat to national security of the Nigerian state. The situation also is becoming worrisome to policy makers. As such, it has been argued by this paper that, systemic improvement in governance is necessary to strategize policy framework to address the menace and reduce possibility of complicating the situation. The essay concludes that Nigeria may have been tends to become more vulnerable to separatist violence and risks of instability like the one we are witnessing in the 21st century north eastern states. |

THE NEED FOR A STRATEGY AND ROMANIA'S STRATEGIC INTEREST IN SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE |
GROSARU Florin-Eduard |
| Regional Department of Defense Resources Management Studies, Brasov, Romania |
| Abstract |
| After more than a decade since the beginning of the 21st century, the countries of the south-eastern Europe (SEE) are engaged in a medium and short-term process of social modernization at different stages due to the unprecedented mutations occurring within the extremely diverse and dynamic international context. The internal evolutions specific to reform and transition accompanied by external participation in achieving the new European defense and security architecture pose new, complex and supplementary challenges to the countries in the region concerning their development and integration, but also real opportunities resulting from the collective defense and security system. The subsequent requirements call for a common vision on the regional strategy meant to prove useful in supporting the national and regional political factors to assume all the responsibilities for collective security and defense. It is clear, however, that the political engagement must permanently benefit from the unconditional support of the civil society. |

CHANGE CONVERSATION STYLE: CHANGE THE ORGANIZATION |
CODREANU Aura |
| Regional Department of Defense Resources Management Studies, Brasov, Romania |
| Abstract |
| Using conversation as a method to incur organizational change is no longer a novelty in the field. However, the suggestion made by this paper is that change can only occur when the prevailing conversational style employed by organizations aiming at undertaking transformation efforts is changed first. Moreover, the approach taken focuses on the dynamic nature of the organizational environment described by the verbal interactions and conversation patterns of work groups and individuals. Thus, as opposed to the mechanistic views often taken when trying to change organizations, this paper proposes that change has to occur at the level of employees and, more specifically at the level of naming and talking about organizational issues. The proposition underlying this is that while changing the attitude or behavior of people may be difficult if not impossible, focusing on their conversational style and linguistic patterns and molding these is more likely to trigger expected results. In this respect, it is worth reminding that any sentence formulated by an employee can be viewed as an organization’s “health†indicator given the specific organizational context underlying it, as well as the organizational roles and identities it mirrors (Heritage2010:42). |

| Abstract |
| The actual economic downturn, in conjunction with the risks and threats for the global security environment inevitably lead towards a dramatic re-thinking of the way that NATO member countries have to fulfill their related responsibilities. A common component is the “Smart Defense†concept, referred as real cooperative way for the member states, to reduce/eliminate the useless redundancies, efficiency increase and express the solidarity between nations. Romania is trying to use the opportunities offered by the “Smart Defense†concept and a good example is the involvement in the Strategic Airlift Capability. Meanwhile, there is also true that “Smart Defense†by itself cannot solve the declining budgets’ problem, being only a component of the whole perspective. |

| Abstract |
| Increase of the militaries’ professionalism is, according to the Samuel P. Huntington writings, the way to achieve objective civil control, meaning the way to assure political neutrality of the officers. It is essential for this professionalism to be clearly defined in order to avoid transforming it into a dead word, an empty box, repeated constantly during the official meetings. This paper is introducing a view on the military profession in Romania, noticing significant differences between the theories promoted by different famous authors, the related official documents and the actual perception of certain active officers on this concept. The necessity of a serious analysis regarding the characteristics of the military professionalism is outlined aiming to achieve the civil objective control. |

| Abstract |
| In the context of the current economic crisis, at the latest NATO Summit in Chicago efforts were made to reshuffle the Alliance on better and more equitable foundations. Essentially, it was an attempt of rebalancing between Europe and USA, on the one hand concerning budget contributions, and on the other hand concerning responsibilities. The cohesion of the Trans-Atlantic Community is under pressure because of the scarce financial resources, the political quasi-paralysis, the substantial institutional inertia and the emergence of new world powers, among which Russia and China. In its turn, USA is in a round-the-clock race for reducing its responsibilities in Europe and Afghanistan, reorienting itself towards the Asia-Pacific area. This summit has been described as the largest in the Alliance history, but also as one of austerity, Western armies being forced to cooperate more in order not to loose technological supremacy. |

| Abstract |
| In this paper, the authors wish to point at the means to integrate the software component for the modelling and simulation in a real-life environment of a mini robot mechanical structure with autonomous wheeled movement, a robotic structure used in military security applications. The “Robo Security†mini robot designed and built within the Management and Technology Research Center – the Advanced Logistics Technologies Laboratory within the “Nicolae Bălcescu†Land Forces Academy of Sibiu, can represent an additional element of a security structure, used for the relay and constructive jamming of a communication system. In order to demonstrate its usefulness, in terms of security features, the mini robot under study has in its structure a wire, which is controlled by an android system. The paper highlights the steps necessary for the 3D modelling and simulation of movement of the mechatronic system using several programming languages under several software such as: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, by implementing libraries specific to programming within the OpenGL software using the C++ programming language as well as the MATLAB R2011b by using a peripheral device which captures the signal and transmits it to a special file in real time. |

| The modern military has to match its political and economical limits and ethical constraints with what it wants to do. Today it is well known that a professional military reflects the nation’s major values within its culture and shows the general concern for its present and future. Universal moral knowledge is like scarcity embedded into any budget for the reason that no matter how much money we have in a given budget there will always be a problem of not having enough money for spending. The problem is to harmonize issues and challenges of ethics impact on defense and welfare of the nation as a pervasive need. |

A EUROPEAN WAY OF WAR |
CĂLIN Daniel |
| Ministry of National Defence / Defence Policy and Planning Department / Defence Policies Directorate / Bucharest / Romania |
| Abstract |
| Through establishment of ESDP/CSDP in late 1990s, following the French-British Declaration in Saint-Malo, the EU has developed a defence and security dimension in its own right and has managed to launch more than 20 civilian missions and military operations. While ESDP/CSDP is to be seen as the operational arm of the EU’s foreign policy, this essay tried to identify whether the Union had also its own way of waging wars, by that actually meaning to conduct crisis management operations based on an integrated / comprehensive approach. With a large array of instruments at its disposal, civil and military ones, the EU seems quite well prepared to respond to international crises, although of a limited scope and at the rather lower intensity spectrum. With the Treaty of Lisbon providing for a mutual assistance clause and due to the recent statements on a possible US retrenchment, the Union seems to have to assume greater responsibilities on the international stage. While the economic crisis requires innovative solutions to compensate for the cuts in MS’ defence budgets, the EU should try to demonstrate that it has both the will and the ability to strenghten its role as a meaningful security actor and complement NATO’s actions in this field. |

LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT |
CARAVAN Constantin Alexandru |
| Ministry of National Defence / Armaments Department/ Romania |
| Abstract |
| The necessity for a methodical, integrated, and comprehensive approach to system acquisition became obvious during last 20 years. Consequently it was important to develop an exhaustive method witch can explain the life cycle needs of a system, from the early beginning until the end, during its life. Lacking this, the product (or systems) performance through life can not be achieved at the expected level. Without a broad understanding of all aspect of life cycle component, a system in use involves spending more money after the acquisition phase than it was intended. Therefore, I think a summary of the concept of Life Cycle Management only provides some clarifications on issues that often are not taken into account when a product is acquired. |

This is a form of a “cognitive shortcutâ€, often based on the “finger rule†and it includes errors in the statistic judgment, social attribution and memory. The cognitive errors are often present in the human thinking and they are studied by the cognitive science, social psychology, economic psychology etc. These errors are frequently caused by heuristic approaches, logical simplifications and decision rules, used in solving complex problems. When these simple decision approaches are employed in inappropriate situations, they lead to systematic and foreseeable mental errors, incorrect estimates and failed evaluations. Cognitive errors do not appear due to a pathological aspect but they are systematic errors of logic. |

CIUCHEA Valentin |
| Maritime Hydrographic Directorate/ Romanian Naval Forces/ Romania |
| Abstract |
| The aim of this paper is to identify and categorize the meteorological and climatic risk phenomena most present on the Romanian territory and to assess the threats and their effects on the national security. In a restrictive manner these climatic risk phenomena are commonly included in the generic term of so-called climate change and sometimes even reduced to the most known global warming. It must be said that they occurred long before the actual perceivable effects of the climate change. By the other hand the climate change evidentially exacerbated the frequency and the intensity of the hazardous meteorological and climatic risk phenomena. |

| The qualities of a great man are “vision, integrity, courage, understanding, the power of articulation, and profundity of characterâ€[1]. The character is the highest and most synthetic layout of one`s personality, which emanates from the integration of an entire life experience into some specific psycho-behavioral ways. Unlike temperament, which represents the manifest form of the personality, the character can be seen as the consistent frame for personality, constituting the psycho-social core of human being relations.

THE REFORM OF THE EU'S DATA PROTECTION RULES |
MOLDOVAN Lucian |
| The 71st Air Flotilla / Câmpia Turzii/ România |
| Abstract |
| The rapid rhythm of technological change and globalisation have profoundly transformed the life of every people and the way in which an ever-increasing volume of personal data is collected, accessed, used and transferred. As of 1 January 2012, the European Union has 503.5 million people and more than 250 million internet users. A big part of these people use online services for commercial or social activities. In exchange for these services people provide personal data that can be used later by companies for different goals. Obtaining personal data has become a purpose and an asset for many companies. Collecting, accessing, analysing, transferring and using the data of potential customers is often an important part of their activities. Companies are using new technologies to develop smart ways for obtaining information and ordinary users are increasingly less protected. Many times, in this fast growing race for information, the rules, the laws and the people’s rights are violated. In order to protect the public against these abuses the European Comission was obliged to take action. This paper sets out the main elements of the reform of the EU framework for data protection. |

| Ministry of National Defence / Armaments Department/ Romania |
| Abstract |
| This paper summarizes briefly the European Unions regulations on acquisition, trying to outline the main aspects aplying to defense area. It begins with the principles stipulated in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union – TFEU than, it introduces the regulatory framework in the field of procurement adopted by European Parliament and the European Council in order to achieve a European defense equipment market. It focuses on Directive 2009/81/EC that sets new rules for the acquisitions of armaments, ammonitions and war material and as well for the procurement of sensitive supplies, works and services for security purposes. The paper makes reference to exemptions based on article 346 TFEU as well as to offset and introduce the initiative of the European Defense Agency (EDA), the Code of Conduct on Offsets, that is a voluntary, non-legally binding, non-legally enforceable regime applicable to defense procurement contracts. The bottom line conclusion is that defense resources management sooner or later ends-up with the need of an acquisitions or modernizations program and at that point, there is always required to organize and run an acquisition procedure that must not only follow national legislative framework but also take into account the EU Directives and TFEU. |
