Further, the globalization and information revolution issues are described as the factors/ tools of influence.

At that time Genoa was not only a leading Mediterranean port and a financial market of international relevance, but also the capital of a small regional Italian state: the Republic of Genoa. This monograph is the number twelve in the book series promoted by the "Fondazione Conservatorio Fieschi", a Genoese non-profit charitable and cultural institution, which already collects several important works concerning the city's history and culture. The author, Andrea Zanini, is an economic historian, working at the University of Genoa, who has extensively published on Italian economic history. Starting from a rather modest condition-at the beginning of the 17 th century, the Crosa were retailers-over three generations they were able to develop a successful business, which allowed them to gain wealth and political influence. This paved the way to the entrance into the Genoese patriciate, and to further strengthen their economic and social position. After reaching the peak in the 1860s, during the following decades the Crosa had to face several crises which resulted in a significant decrease of their wealth; however, they were able to avoid social and economic decline.

The interpretation adopted for the purposes of the paper refers to several elements that affect national security. It is primarily creating its security by organising society on the basis of power, giving its actions a purposeful character serving to maintain order and stability, and social order. Another element is the creation of certain states of social reality through the policy of the institution of power, which relates to the present, but inevitably leads to the future. The third element is the creation of future, desired social, political and economic phenomena and processes forming the order and the basis for further related activities, based on the policy instrument, which is the national security strategy. The last element is combining all of the previously listed in national security management. Together, these elements create an interpretation of the way of transforming and creating the state's ability to ensure its security, a necessary condition for its existence and development. The presented study, not exhausting the subject, allows for the formulation of directions for further research, which appear to be important in creating national security.
