CHALLENGES TO SECURITY POLICIES IN A DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT

Daniela Georgiana GOLEA, PhD is a researcher and political scientist specializing in national security, intelligence studies, military affairs, and artificial intelligence. A Corresponding Member of the Romanian Academy, she has authored eight specialist books—including Bioterrorism—and over fifty scholarly articles published in academic venues of the Romanian Academy, the Romanian Academy of Scientists, and other research outlets. Her work examines how states and institutions build resilience to hybrid and digital threats, combining comparative analysis with rigorous, practice-oriented recommendations. She contributes regularly to international conferences and peer-reviewed publications, with current interests in digital sovereignty, strategic communication, and the ethics of emerging technologies. In this book, she demonstrates—through a comparative, evidence-based inquiry—how institutional design, accountability, and cross-sector cooperation shape national resilience in the digital era, diagnosing recurrent reactive responses and proposing a pragmatic roadmap for anticipatory governance, capacity building, and democratic oversight.
