    (Editura USM, 2024) Gore, Anastasia
    This thesis examines the EU’s role in ensuring regional security in the Middle East, focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a case study. The author critically analyzed the effectiveness and significance of the EU’s security strategies in the Middle East region. Research was structured according to four main security challenges in the region: regional conflicts, terrorist attacks, migration crises and nuclear weapons proliferation. These points are long time on the global agenda and the EU is also concerned about them. A special attention was given to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and involvement of the EU. Due to the lack of the national researcher who study this specific topic, the thesis is a unique work dedicated to the security cooperation of the EU with Middle East region.

    STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE EU'S MILITARY CAPABILITIES IN TERMS OF THEIR RELEVANCE TO EUROPEAN SECURITY NEEDS
    (Editura USM, 2024) Gore, Anastasia; Ejov, Cristina
    The European Union (EU) has been actively working to strengthen its military capabilities in recent years, with a focus on improving its relevance to European security needs. However, there are still notable strengths and weaknesses to these capabilities. One strength is the EU's ability to conduct a range of military operations, from peacekeeping and crisis management to combat missions. The EU has also made strides in improving its defense industry and developing common defense procurement policies. On the other hand, weaknesses include a lack of interoperability between member state militaries, limited defense budgets, and a heavy reliance on the United States for military support. Furthermore, the EU's military capabilities may not fully address emerging security threats such as cyber and hybrid warfare. Ultimately, a comprehensive and cohesive approach to European defense is necessary to address these strengths and weaknesses and ensure the EU is able to meet its security needs in an evolving global landscape.
