MODERN UNDERSTANDING OF SECURITY, THREATS AND NATIONAL DEFENCE

Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2010, Vol 155, Issue 1

Abstract

The article attempts to define security in a broad sense. The author analyses the dualism of this issue: on the one hand, there is homeland security, the criterion of which is sovereignty of a country; on the other hand, there is security of a social group, which is related to preserving identity.As a result of the aforementioned factors, at present juncture it is necessary to redefine the notion of security and methodological guidelines indispensable to analyse the above-mentioned issues.The article defines and classifies the threats occurring in the modern world, the reason being that while analysing the issue of security, one must not overlook the fact that it should be considered from the point of view of threats and challenges as well as chances to meet them at the lowest cost.
