The concept of security is one of the important fields of study of international relations. Although conceptual studies on security have been neglected until recently, security studies started after World War II. Within the framework of the classical security concept that prevailed during the Cold War, national security was defined in an understanding that pioneered the security of the state through the definition of enemy state-ideology. In this definition, states accepted security as protection of the borders of countries from enemy occupation and preservation of sovereignty in the international arena, on the other hand, they approached the security activities in the national field through the understanding of the provision of public order against threats such as organized crime and terror. With the 1980s, this situation began to change. With the effect of globalization at the end of the Cold War, new threats to national / international security emerged. The concept of globalization, which proceeds in contradictions within itself, has enlarged the difference between the wealthy and poor sectors/nations in the world and has made today’s world more unstable, with more threats than before. The development of globalization, which is an important factor in the emergence of new threats, will continue to have an impact on the definition of national security in the coming periods.
