Academic Scientific JournalsCollaborative Clusters As A Part Of New Security Architecture: A Global Perspective
Keywords:
collaborative platform, security, cluster, militaryAbstract
The article discusses the potential creation of a new transnational platform in the context of rethinking security architecture. The researcher proposes a theoreticalmethodological basis for a collaborative platform in military and defense aspects, using a cluster approach and the planomenon definition by G. Deleuze and F. Guattari. The author presents a collaborative cluster structure based on the smart specialization principle as an interactive platform for making joint decisions. Using a case study, the researcher conducts a comparative analysis of the budgets and security policies of international organizations (UN, NATO, EU) and countries from 2014-2022 to demonstrate the feasibility of revitalizing existing security institutions or creating new ones.
