Security in the light of select philosophical and social concepts. Between theory and practice

Abstract

Security is one of the basic values in the life of an individual, society, nation, country, and also at the international level. However, modern security is composed of efficient utilization of the potential within diplomacy and strength, a balanced relationship between soft and hard power. This text aims at presenting an overview of security concepts included in the selected philosophical and social models. This involves bringing closer specific theories and practical actions based on them. Nowadays, this can be seen at the level of relations between military and diplomatic solutions in various conflicts that took place at the turn of the twenty-first century.
