Slowly but surely, three decades have passed since private security appeared as a new and unknown security phenomenon in Macedonia. Decades full of ups and downs, successes and lessons to be learned, a period of time sufficient to strike a line and summarize the experiences and perspectives of its future development. Besides being a new security phenomenon, private security was established as a new and indispensable part of the security system of the country. Today, private security in Macedonia is an integral and inevitable segment of the contemporary security reality, reaching a certain level of development. The paper deals with highlighting and assessing the development of the private security in Macedonia in the last three decades of its advent, primarily focusing on the development of private security activity and private detective activity. Theoretically, the paper is based on structural and functional theory of private security, while methodologically, the paper uses comparison of scientific, professional and legal sources as well as conceptual content analysis. The aim of the paper is to highlight the experiences of the development of Macedonian private security so far and on that grounds to determine the possible future perspectives of its development. The findings of the paper could be of use to scholars and professionals in the sphere of private security, in terms of better understanding of Macedonian private security, as well as in designing and implementing security policies in this field. Keywords: private security activity, private detective activity, Macedonia, experiences, perspectives
European Union member states have always recognized the need to act together in foreign policy and defense matters, but this has proved to be a difficult challenge and hard to achieved. The principle of a common foreign and security policy (CFSP) was formalized for the first time in 1992 by the Treaty of Maastricht, but creation of formal secondary instruments for diplomacy and intervention were needed pursuant to regional conflicts in the 1990s. Such decisive actions are the European Union peacekeeping missions to several of the world’s trouble spots which promote development of the European Security and Defense Policy and design of European military structure. The first Europe defense agreement was sign on 17 of March 1948 in Brussels establishing the Western European Union. Together with the NATO Agreement they create the defense policy of Europe. In this context, the research paper aims is to explore the development of the Western European Union as a cradle for the birth of the European Union security and defense policy and the difference between the policies that are in the Union competence and the one exclusively to the Member States.
Almost five decades have passed since social pathology appeared as a new scientific discipline in Macedonian higher educational system, in particular, at the Faculty of Security. Decades of research and education, achievements and lessons to be learned. Although the history is relatively short, it is a period of time sufficient to strike a line and summarize the experiences and perspectives of its future development. As a sociological discipline, social pathology slowly but surely breaks its way to scientific prominence and deserved status in the contemporary Macedonian higher educational system. The paper deals with highlighting and assessing the development of the social pathology in Macedonia in the last almost five decades of its advent, focusing both on research as well as on educational developments. Theoretically, the paper is based on structural and chronological assessment of developments in the education and research in this field, while methodologically, the paper uses historical and comparative method, as well as content analysis of scientific and professional sources. The aim of the paper is to highlight the experiences of development of social pathology in Macedonia so far and on those grounds, to determine the possible future perspectives of its development. The findings of the paper could be of use to scholars and professionals in the sphere of social pathology, in terms of better understanding the place, role and importance of social pathology in the contemporary Macedonian research and education in the field of social and security sciences. Keywords: social pathology, research, education, Macedonia, experiences and perspectives
