Security Challenges
Security challenges through history to this day
How it was?
There were very little security challenges coming from inside of the state. The internal threats that influenced the national security existed, but science in that time didn’t look at those problems as a threats to the state. The only subject that was considered as the subject that the state has to defend, was the state itself. Today we find that as a „traditional security theory“. The theory where the only real threat to national security came from the outside and threatened the states sovereignty and territorial integrity.
And now...
In the last decades of the XX century, we came to a new understanding of the security. The therms like Regional security and Global security came to the table and many countries took those terms very seriously. United Nations was the organization that had to take care of the global and regional security in the widest sense, and it still does. Experts started to talk about contemporary security threats. The theory of security threats today, do not exclude the traditional ones, like war and armed aggression from one state to the other. It adds different ones and has a little bit wider view of the subjects that the state has to secure, and in that sense, much more challenges to deal with.
We will try to talk more about some threats to the National security today. Also how they affect the region and the security of neighboring states. Every big problem in one state can trigger some threats to the others. Particularly in a time when most of economy, social interaction, politics, natural disasters and other issues that can disturb the perspective of safety and security, overcomes national borders.
