| Abstract |
| group of men from Bilbao, Spain. This organization had an extreme impact on Spanish politics and society in Europe and one of the most important factors of ETA’s radical nationalism were women members. Basque women were active in all areas of ETA, including the military wing, political party’s trades unions, etc. After Scotland’s vote against its independence from Britain, it is possible that other separatist movements across the globe, from Europe to Asia, to the Middle East, to Africa will start sending signals for breaking all borders. The political fights all over the world, Scotland, China, fighting with the Uighurs in Xinjiang and Tibet, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran, started a fire in people’s hearts. Catalonia and the Basque Country in Spain and Flanders in Belgium, are considered the most influential regions and similar with the political and socioeconomic conditions of Scotland. In October 2011, the Basque separatist group ETA announced the cessation of its armed activities, but no one will assure that terrorist actions will not happen again. |

HOW A NEW APPROACH IN TEACHING CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE |
APOSTOL-MATES Raluca |
| "Mircea cel Bătrân" Naval Academy - Constanța, Romania |
| Abstract |
| Everyday exposure to the Internet and its resources results in a significant change in scholars’ approach to learning. It is well known that the new generation of “digital natives†needs new teaching-learning strategies complementary or opposed to the old/traditional ones that permit learners to communicate and collaborate, and even switch the role with their teacher. E-learning is the common frame of this new type of transmitting-acquiring information. Providing an open and transparent environment for learners, E-learning can also ensure an authentic audience when they are to display the results of their work. Web-based learning and computer-learning are two of the new means that showed how new technologies make a difference in education when properly used. The present paper intends to be an example on how teachers could transform Internet materials into skill-oriented teaching materials. As a teacher in a military institution I found out that the Internet is an endless source of materials that can be used for teaching ESP as students have already oriented their education toward a specific field and do concentrate more on language in context than on grammar and language structures. Using Internet based materials for enhancing both productive (Speaking and Writing) and non-productive (Reading and Listening) skills are always beneficial for students. They use the materials teacher provides in their own time, having the opportunity to re-read or listen again for as many times as they need in order to fulfill the requirements. The teacher is merely a link between the student and the Internet materials as he is the one who chooses them, providing a bridge for the students towards meaningful and relevant materials. |

| Abstract |
| Defense projects audit, which is a highly significant issue for a project success, should be considered different from standard processes although it includes business management and project management processes. In this type of process, financial regularity and legal comformity is perceived as first priority however audit is essential at every stage in transparently conducted projects. When the successful defense projects are examined it is seen that internal audit becomes more significant than external audit in order to ensure efficiency. Furthermore audit readiness emerges as an essential concept. In this study our main aim is to examine successful defense projects comparatively and present applicable methods for a successful auditing process. |

| Abstract |
| National security depends on accessibility of energy resources according to their type, amount and military necessities where they are located. Military institutions, as the guards of national security, have to consider limited energy resources and dependence on foreign resources while planning the resources. The literature review has shown that the strategic dimension of energy and the security of energy supply are constantly emphasized. It is also seen that main emphasis is still on fossil resources as if they are infinite. In this study, countries which place major emphasis on energy while planning defense resources and adapt innovative methods to develop defense systems and modernization are examined in detail. It is aimed to reveal the significance of alternative energy resources and present different methods to ensure energy sustainability in DRM. |

THE IMPACT OF INFORMATION RESOURCES MANAGEMENT UPON ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE |
COCALCU Gily |
| 88 Squadron of River Patrol Boats/ River Service of Fleet/ Braila/ Romania |
| Abstract |
| Information Resources Management (IRM) is a concept that defines information as a major corporate resource and it states that it must be managed by using the same principles used to manage other assets. IRM is a process that links needs for business information to information system solutions. Nevertheless, there is no step-by-step guideline for implementing IRM, and in this paper I’ll pinpoint some aspects of how enterprises can use information to empower their people, how a linkage between key data and the corporate strategies can influence organizations to gain or not benefits by managing their information. |

| The life cycle cost (LCC) concept consists of adding all the costs of activities ( stages ) that occur in the life cycle of a produc,from conception to abandonment or withdrawal (disposal) of the product by the manufacturer or beneficiary. Control costs can become or is a particular problem ( primary ) for those are responsible, here entering and military decision makers (when is talking about required products for national defense), especially when the allocated resources are limited (both annual budgetary resources, and those that may be intended, in their entirety, for a particular type of product) Cost analysis is not simply a matter of accounting, becomes a management problem that involves many factors responsible, we must concern us both costs that may arise in the future, and those who are somehow‚ â€unexpectedâ€, especially in terms of military capabilities in which the benefit can not measure directly (eg. income). |

ROMANIA'S MILITARY NECESSARY CHANGES THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE UKRAINIAN AFFAIR |
DOLCEANU Denis |
| Romanian Naval Forces |
| Abstract |
| The latest security trends assumed that conventional warfare between nation-states has been abolished and that the military roles have changed. Consequently the strategic planners somehow disregarded the importance of national defense heavily relying on NATO support as collective defense. But the events unfold in Ukraine point to some realities namely: the power of countries shifts; the status quo is unstable, and that Russia has hegemonic ambitions. Having admitted that Romania faces military vulnerabilities there are a series of necessary changes and the options identified are: evaluation of the current defense strategy, revisit forces’ structure, military technology and forces training improvement. News is that there is a unanimous political engagement to increase the defense budget during the following years. With lessons learned from years with short funding on defense this money should be spent wisely after a thorough capability assessment. |

DEFENSE RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT IN A DOUBLE-WAY RELATIONSHIP |
GROSARU Florin-Eduard |
| Regional Department of Defense Resources Management Studies, Brasov, Romania |
| Abstract |
| Performance in Defense Resources Management is a condition of the harmonization of the politico-military requirements and the results of defense resource allocation in the current international political environment, as well as a consequence of the new geo-economic realities caused by relentless geopolitical changes. In this context, performance management tends to be a sine-qua-non condition for the existence and success of defense resources management. As such, the specific activities of optimum allocation of resources get, more and more, the configuration and composition of the specific activities to achieve systematic performance. Thus, performance management and defense resources management establish commonalities, logical and binding, even defining, links, up to, in some cases, confusion or assimilation. |

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LIFE CYCLE ESTIMATIONS IN THE MILITARY SYSTEM |
GROSU Gabriel-Danut |
| Ministry of National Defence, Romania |
| Abstract |
| The impact of financial resources plan for acquisition programs needs to be assessed in the medium term and even longer because it may be that some equipment needed for getting one capability to have an acquisition cost less but their operation throughout the life cycle imposes high costs. These costs gathered with the cost of acquisition can exceed the costs during the life cycle of other equipment (wherewith they get the same capability) that initially purchase at a higher price but on the same lifetime operating costs were much lower. |

| Abstract |
| Military Cohesion or more commonly referred to as Unit Cohesion or Regimentation in few countries is defined as "the bonding together of soldiers in such a way as to sustain their will and commitment to each other, the unit, and mission accomplishment, despite combat or mission stress"1. The cohesion can be broadly classified as Task Cohesion and Social Cohesion, but it is the fine blend of these two, which makes the Military Cohesion. It serves as a force multiplier and plays an important role in building sense of sacrifice in the unit personnel, which is a vital intangible factor for success in a conflict / combat. |

INVESTMENT IN DEFENCE - A SECURITY REQIREMENT |
ISPAS Lucian |
| "Nicolae Bălcescu" Land Forces Academy/ Sibiu/ Romania |
| Abstract |
| The most used idea in security analyses, especially within its military dimensions, is that of direct link between amount of defense spending, military capabilities and the necessity of a cooperative effort. Nevertheless, the new evolution of security environment requires a new approach for decision makers in order to make military expenditure for security reason. Therefore, an analytic instrument based on a multi-criteria approach could simplify and facilitate a realistic and faster decision in this field |

CRITICAL INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION: TOWARDS GLOBAL CYBER SECURITY |
MARTIN Ioana |
| "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" Police Academy, Romania |
| Abstract |
| Over the last decades, the Internet and more broadly cyberspace have had a tremendous impact on our society. Our daily life, fundamental rights, social interactions and economies depend on information and communication technology working seamlessly. For cyberspace to remain open and free there should be norms, principles and values that can be applied online. Cyberspace should be protected from incidents, malicious activities and misuse. Information and communication technology (ICT) has become the backbone of our economic growth and is a critical resource which all economic sectors rely on, keeping alive key sectors such as finance, health, energy and transportation. Although the benefits of this interdependence are great, the fact that many organizations have become entirely reliant on ICT to carry out vital functions is bringing new challenges. Therefore, governments around the world have to be prepared themselves to offer a secure cyberspace for any citizen, national economy and national security. All these challenges are related to threats and vulnerabilities of the digital network and are incorporated in the concept of cyber security. It’s a priority for governments and super-statal entities to develop a comprehensive security strategy for their networks. To that end, one should develop and fund special institutions to deal with this issue, draft plans for preventing cyber attacks and acting if such an attack occurs, identify the attackers and bring them to justice, and rebuild or repair damaged components of the network. |

PROSPECTIVE OF ROMANIA'S NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR THE PROTECTION OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES |
MATACHE-ZAHARIA Silvia-Alexandra |
| "Carol I" National Defense University, Romania |
| Abstract |
| In an interlocked world, the protection of critical infrastructures is part of the joint effort to ensure security. As a responsible actor on the international stage, Romania is well aware that protecting national vital infrastructures is necessary for consolidating national and regional security. The present paper wishes to analyze the existing legislative and institutional framework for ensuring the security of national infrastructures in Romania, as well as to discuss potential opportunities for future development. The paper tries to offer a definition of national critical infrastructure that is in accordance with the European interpretation of the term. Subsequently, the perspectives of future legislative initiative concerning the protection of national critical infrastructures proposed will have to comply with European developments in this domain, as a strategic approach on the national level cannot be conceived without an outlook on the existing European legislative and institutional framework. |

CAPABILITY BASED PLANNING - HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE |
MITRICA Marin |
| 71st Air Base / Câmpia Turzii / Romania |
| Abstract |
| The goal of this paper is to enunciate the concept of capability as the core of the text and then, upon it to open one or two possible directions for further development. The text remains in the academic realm (providing the author has the ability to do so); in turn no practical solution will be asserted. For defining the concept, a brief pass through history will be followed by several current definitions and a final statement will encompass all of them. This is also the point where the concept of fractal is introduced as a possible mathematical tool for assessing the outcomes of the capability-based system. |

EUROPEAN SECURITY ARCHITECTURE FROM THE RUSSIAN PERSPECTIVE |
MURESAN Petre |
| "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" Police Academy, Romania |
| Abstract |
| Russian President Dmitry Medvedev launched the concept of “European security architecture†in June 2008, in Berlin. Since then, Russia has been intensively lobbying in favour of this initiative. The Russian President has developed and promoted the idea further in speeches in Evian, in October 2008 and in Helsinki, in April 2009. The goal of Medvedev’s plan remains the postulate of equal security for all, which, if implemented, would mean that no actions that might be perceived as threatening the security of others would be allowed. As a consequence, decisions such as the enlargement of NATO would have to be negotiated by the European states with Russia. The actual short-term objectives behind Russia’s proposal are to stop NATO enlargement and to open a debate on European security. The long-term objectives are to loosen trans-Atlantic ties, incapacitate NATO and grant Moscow a de facto right to veto decisions concerning European security. Initial reactions from the European states show that Russia may succeed in achieving these short-term objectives. While a complete revision of the existing European security system is unlikely to happen, Moscow may also succeed in undermining the USA’s influence in Europe and deepen the existing divisions among the European states in the domain of security (in other words, the divisions between those countries which co-operate more closely with the USA and those which have been seeking agreement with Russia). |

EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS WITHIN THE MANAGERIAL PROCESS |
POPA Brindusa |
| Regional Department of Defense Resources Management Studies, Brasov, Romania |
| Abstract |
| Even though the effectiveness and efficiency are two different concepts they are closely related when considering organizational performance, which must combine both aspects. The effectiveness and efficiency are two basic concepts of management, both determining the analysis of what needs to be done by the organization and manner of action. Sometimes we can consider efficiency as judicious spending of funds allocated from the budget and optimizing the consumption of resources. When we look at efficiency as using minimum resources for an activity, we obtain efficiency from an economic point of view, but not from an organizational perspective. |

| Abstract |
| In military planning, resources are never enough to achieve all that leaders want to do with the desired minimal level of risk. In addition, since the end of the “cold warâ€, the military has faced a constant stream of new challenges. Now, rather than being prepared to face old threats in conventional warfare scenarios, military must be prepared to respond to a larger number of more diverse scenarios with varied attributes and to do so in circumstances involving complex and uncertain risk. |

OVERVIEW OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES PROTECTION IN ROMANIA |
ROHART Marius Laurentiu |
| Romanian Naval Forces |
| Abstract |
| Technological developments and globalization have created new interdependencies between the systems that are vital for societies’ well-being: its critical infrastructures . If previously countries were preoccupied with the early, local infrastructures such as transportation or communication, today’s modern societies work with fast, global and digital connections in all major infrastructures - from energy distribution and finance to public health. This highly evolving context brings new challenges (both threats and opportunities) that shape the way security and stability of critical infrastructures should be ensured at national and international level. This paper aims to offer an overview of Romania’s status on the protection of its national critical infrastructures, as well as its relation to international initiatives on this topic. It does so by analyzing the definition of critical infrastructures and how they evolved in particular international contexts, as well as as the unique characteristics of the Romanian context. |

| Romanian Air Force Staff |
| Abstract |
| Unanimously accepted, the human resource is the most valuable resource of an organization. The success of an organization depends, to a large extent, on the level of convergence of both organizational goals and human resources’ expectations. This can be done only by managing in a very well manner the performances, the potential and individual preferences of the employees in the sense of achieving the mission of that organization. Who are the managers? Both, employers and employees are the main actors in this „movieâ€. Civil or military, any organization has to adopt, implement and periodically assess the best policies for a very good career management. The aim of this paper is not to offer an universal solution available for all organizations, but to propose a set of principles which can be taken into consideration when projecting career management policies. |
