Abstract:

The concept of security has been assessed for a long time as the continuity of the independent political authority of the elements of the state, synonymous with national security. The basic approach to reach this aim has always been military. Nowadays, in terms of the concept mentioned, although state sovereignty keeps its position in the centre, the existence of a growing common interest between states is observed in the search for the solution of current threats. It has been seen that the scope of the concept of security expanded over time, besides the security of the state, the security of the social groups and individuals has also come into question. Accordingly to this, in addition to the state which is the main subject of maintaining security, international and non-governmental organizations are also located in the mentioned process. Similarly the security, together with the feature of military, gained new meanings that include, political, economical, socio-cultural and environmental aspects, in this way the concept of comprehensive security has begun to gain acceptance
