Abstract
The system of international security created in Europe following the Second World War seemed long lasting and stable. However, together with its development as a dynamic system, its instability increased. The system’s susceptibility to the processes of deterioration of the relations between the USA and the USSR, and to tensions in nearby regions, such as the Near and Middle East, has become more pronounced. With the development of new types of weapons, the existing systems of international security are being destabilised. As far as students of peace are concerned, the time factor in international relations and security has become a negative factor.
