Individual and social security

Dynamic and troubled processes that characterized the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries have left significant traces in all fields of social life economy, culture, politics and especially on the security of the emerging global society. Traditional comprehension of the concept of security based on the premise of the realistic idea of national security which, during the cold war, was identified with the foreign security of a state and could be attained by accumulating power, has been changed by a more universal comprehension of security or by contemporary security studies. These studies comprise various new research schools, which dramatically but in a conceptually proper way, widen the research field of security based on new credible orientations. Consequently, the research field of security includes not only the concepts of national and foreign security but also global individual and social security. Therefore security studies as a scientific discipline consists of two levels, i.e. two theoretical concepts the concepts of individual and social security.
