Abstract: In this article we will acknowledge the concept of security from the perspective of terrorism, in the last years. The facets of the geopolitical relations in the XXIst century are evolving continuously, leaving behind the legislative process on a national level. Firstly, we will start with the supposition that the symbiotic relations existing between Europeanization and global politics may lead to the infringement of human rights, as a response of violent threats to the democratic society. In this way, globalization, as a means of transmitting common democratic values, can build a minimal standard of guaranteeing human rights, but through geopolitical expansion, the area becomes vulnerable. In this context, we also find the European Union, as a landmark of the contemporary geopolitical relations, faced with a need to protect its borders and to engage member states in a common track regarding national security policies. Secondly, we will overview the consequences of globalization on the preservation of the fundamental rights and integrity, that may lead to the perpetuation of a set of common values which must be protected. In the last part, we shall emphasize the fact that, the European space of freedom, security and justice, along with the Europe 2020 strategy, represents a key element of the EU answer to long-term global challenges, which contribute to the reinforcement and development of the European model of social economy in the XXIst century.
