BANKING SECURITY IN THE CONTEXT OFINTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

摘要

IN RECENT YEARS, THE BANKING SECTOR HAS OPERATED IN AN ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZEDBY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AND UNCERTAINTY, AND THE LOSSES HAVE GENERATEDSEVERE DISTURBANCES OF THE BANKING ACTIVITIES. THE REPUTATION AND STABILITY OFBANKING INSTITUTIONS DEPEND ON THEIR ABILITY TO FACE CHALLENGES, WHETHER THEY AREOF A CRIMINAL NATURE (MONEY LAUNDERING, TERRORISM FINANCING, CORRUPTION ORFRAUD), OR A RESULT OF THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION OR OF ECONOMIC CRISES.THE TREATMENT OF THIS TOPIC IS NOT AT ALL RANDOM, BEING, IN A WAY, CONSISTENT WITH THEINCREASINGLY APPARENT REALITIES OF THE PAST TWO DECADES, AS WELL AS A CONSEQUENCEOF UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWLEDGE REGARDING THE FACTORS ANDPHENOMENA INFLUENCING BANKING SECURITY, PARTICULARLY EXISTING SOLUTIONS ORSOLUTIONS THAT SHOULD EMERGE IN THIS DIRECTION. ON THE OTHER HAND, EVENTS INRECENT YEARS IN THE BANKING SECTOR HAVE INCREASINGLY PUT INTO QUESTION A LOT OFMEANINGS OF THE CONCEPT OF “SECURITY”, WHICH ARE NOT AT ALL EASY TO MANAGE.
