Impact of Socio-economic and Technological Transformations at National, European and International Level (ISETT), 2015, vol. 1

Abstract: The main purpose of a democratic state is that of protecting the civil rights and liberties. The fundamental condition for a good government and for guaranteeing social and individual freedom is based on the the deployment of a democratic national security system. Geo-political movements and the globalization phenomenon are real challenges for the national security system, regarding organized crime, weapons of mass distruction, international terrorism. All these threats require flexible laws to allow the national security system to function and accomplish its objectives without tainting or restricting civil rights and liberties. For these reasons, both government and civil society have the opportunity and responsibility to work together in creating a formal agenda on public policy reforms regarding the protection of civil rights and liberties while redesigning the national security system.
