After the collapse of the bipolar world, multilateral initiatives & organizations got into a crisis, but at the same time their importance increased. The author analyzes one form of multilateral ...involvement: UN peacekeeping operations. In the last 5 years, their number has significantly increased. The most important among them is the one on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. Although many aspects of that operation are negative, in the future they might prove useful for the reform of the concept of peacekeeping operations. The author particularly emphasizes the necessity for these peacekeeping operations to make a shift from the prevention of hostilities toward the enforcement of peace as well as the need to separate this objective from humanitarian activities, which should be assigned to specialized international organizations. Peacekeeping operations should evolve into a sort of multilateral interventionism which resolutely restricts individual states' sovereignty & strives at establishing order. They could be supplemented with other means of pressure at the UN's disposal: sanctions, diplomatic isolation, or arms control. Adapted from the source document.

Četiri su skupine novih okolnosti s kojima će se Hrvatska suočiti na svome putu u Europsku uniju. (1) Pregovori EU s Hrvatskom vodit će se na individualnoj osnovi, prema oštrijim kriterijima i uz ...moguće komplikacije izvan našega nadzora. (2) Prednost je Hrvatske u tome što je relativno mala i kompatibilna zemlja koju je lakše integrirati, ali će protiv njena učlanjenja djelovati opći zamor proširenja EU, psihološko (ponegdje političko) vezivanje uz regiju. (3) Za Hrvatsku su već pooštreni kriteriji, osobito političke naravi. (4) Hrvatska će pregovarati s ustavno izmijenjenim EU. Autor razmatra glavne političke ciljeve naše zemlje tijekom pregovora i učlanjenja u Europsku uniju i područja u kojima će četiri države članice EU u susjedstvu (Italija, Austrija, Mađarska i Slovenija) imati najizraženije nacionalne interese.

The subject of this paper is one of the most frequently used and least clarified notions in foreign affairs and the theory of international relations: the notion of security. It is most often found ...in discussions of the problems of the internal stability of political systems, protection of sovereignty, provision of peace and development and in discussions of the interests in disarmament. Public security means pro-vision of law and order and prevention of crime and terrorism, while state security implies provision of the continuity of the political system and constitutional government. National security is defined as an effort of every nation/state to preserve its sovereignty, territorial integrity, physical existence of its population, political independence and a right to development. Regional security is determined by the total political, ideological, economic and other relations in the region as well as by the interests of the great powers. International security is not a mere summation of the national security of individual countries but rather a commitment to appropriate values in international relations. Collective security is an instrument for the protection of the regional and international security. The author pays special attention to the security of developing countries as a separate model in international relations.
The Ethiopian revolution has eliminated feudalism, but the country has continued to be troubled by its feudal, i.e. imperialist, past. The attempts to ’integrate’ different, already formed, nations ...have been sustained even after the overthrow of Haile Selassie, for Mariam Mengistu did not change the unitaristic course pursued by his predecessor. The unsettled national question of Ethiopia is the root of most problems on the Horn of Africa. A number of liberation and separatist movements, as well as movements for autonomy, are active in the country, but their strength, positions, ideologies, claims and popular support differ greatly. The gravest situation is in Eritrea, where the longest war in Africa is in progress for the restaration of federal status within Ethiopia or for secession. The secession of Eritrea would make Ethiopia a landlocked state and would signal the beginning of its dismemberment. Hence the understandable et for Is to suppress to counterrevolution, though without much chance of success, especially after the unification of Eritrean liberation movements. The Eritrean question is a problem of so-called 'internal decolonisation' and of the right of the Eritrean people to self-determination. It differs from all other Ethiopian national claims by being founded on international treaties. Apart from this, Ethiopia is also the scene of activity of the Liberation Front of the Oromo People, the most numerous nation in Ethiopia, the Liberation Front of the Tigre People, the Afar Liberation Movement and the Front for the Liberation of West Somalia, which enjoys the strong support of the Somali Government. Some of these movements cooperate, but this cooperation is not strong enough to lead to the downfall of the present Ethiopian Government. A pacification of the situation in Ethiopia and on the Horn of Africa in general is inconceivable without a consistent application of the principles of Ethiopian revolution also to the national question. This need not result in the country’s fragmentation; on the contrary, it might provide a basis for the achievement of the sorely needed internal unity and for more harmonious relations with other states in the region.
