The aim of this study is to identify regional and international challenges to security in the Arabian Gulf region resulting from developments over the last decades as well as to examine their impact on the security in this area generally and in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) particularly. This study is also aimed at drawing up a strategy on strengthening political and social security of the UAE.
Traditionally, the dominant agenda in transatlantic relations has been military security governed by the US and its nuclear preponderance. The “balance of threat” resulted in the primacy of the military sphere over the economic sphere. Since 1985 the US-EU agenda has changed fundamentally due to the disappearance of the Soviet- American security agenda, structural developments in the world economy, and the attempt on both sides to re-examine their respective roles in the international system with respect to the economic and security spheres.
Transatlantic interdependence and shared responsibility for global leadership have now grown so much that the EU and the US need to come up not only with a new strategy and institutional capacity to manage bilateral relations, but also with a blueprint for dealing with global economic issues. The scenarios for the further development of transatlantic relations are varied: pessimistic and optimistic.

"High-quality foreign policy and the consolidation of Slovakia's position in the international arena are among the priorities of nation-building, therefore it should receive adequate political attention...If modern Slovakia wants to succeed in international competition, and this is its only chance, it must overcome (these) false ideas, open itself to external influences and promote its natural interests in the international arena through a professional foreign policy with the backing of an informed public."
