THE ROLE OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES IN ESTABLISHING CONTEMPORARY SECURITY PARADIGM IN DEFENCE AREA FOR THE SELECTED COUNTRIES

This paper examines a complex security environment and every-day challenges of the modern world. According to the author, the national defence system, as part of the national security system in a modern society, should constantly adapt to challen- ges of the environment in which it operates. Only in this way, it is possible for the defence system to effectively respond to the challenges of globalization processes, including those pertaining to security. The challenge exists in the organisation of defence systems and financial resources providing their functioning in indivi- dual countries. In this respect, countries are organized differently or have started to introduce the organizing or adapting of the system to the challenges of the modern environment in a different way. The success of their adaptation will only become measurable over time. Since Slovenian strategic and guidance documents lay down the transformation of the Slovenian defence system, it is reasonable to consider the examples of good practice and follow the approaches used by selected countries. Only timely and comprehensive transformation of the defence system will provide a more efficient support to the defence system and to the system of protection against natural and other disasters, to the necessary extent.Večplastno varnostno okolje in izzivi sodobnega sveta, s katerimi se vsak dan srečujemo, predstavljajo rdečo nit članka, v katerem trdim, da se mora obrambni sistem kot del nacionalnovarnostnega sistema sodobne družbe nenehno prilagaja- ti izzivom okolja, v katerem deluje. Le njegovo nenehno prilagajanje mu namreč omogoča, da se učinkovito odzove na izzive, ki jih prinašajo s seboj procesi glo- balizacije, tudi na področju varnosti. Izziv predstavlja področje organiziranosti obrambnih sistemov in finančnih virov, ki zagotavljajo njihovo delovanje po posa- meznih državah. Omenjeno področje je namreč v državah različno urejeno oziroma so se države večinoma različno lotile organiziranja oziroma prilagajanja sistema na izzive sodobnega okolja. Uspešnost njihovega prilagajanja bo merljiva šele čez čas. Strateški in usmerjevalni dokumenti določajo tudi preoblikovanje obrambnega sistema Slovenije, zato je smiselno upoštevati tudi primere dobre prakse in pristope, ki so jih uporabile izbrane države. Le s pravočasnim in celovito izvedenim preobli- kovanjem obrambnega sistema se bo zagotovila še učinkovitejša podpora obramb- nemu sistemu in v nujnem obsegu tudi sistemu varstva pred naravnimi in drugimi nesrečami.
