Abstract:

The concept of security is tried to be explained with philosophical and political approaches against the elements of competition, violence, hegemony and threat, and the content of this concept is expanded with the dominant understandings developed depending on the power, existence-anarchy and conflicting environments in the world. How nations and international entities present this concept on the axis of power directs the security understandings. The phenomenon of threat and power shapes the perception of threat according to what and whom, as the parameters of the security problematic and ensuring the continuity of the problem of existence in the dominance areas. National and international security strategies are changing depending on the perceptual and conceptual approaches, and classical security approaches are expanding. In this study, based on the approaches that shape the theoretical plane in the context of international relations and security studies, threat-security perception and the theoretical shaping and politicization of national/international security strategies will be evaluated with an analytical approach.
