Summary/Abstract: The text introduces the issue of European security in the context of contemporary crises and challenges. The authors emphasize that the accumulation of threats—such as Russia’s war against Ukraine, energy and migration crises, pandemics, and rapid technological development—requires a broader and more comprehensive understanding of security. They highlight the importance of developing appropriate theoretical frameworks that enable better analysis of modern threats and the formulation of effective responses. The discussion refers to the achievements of international relations theory, particularly realism and liberalism, which offer different perspectives on the sources of conflict and possibilities for international cooperation. The introduction stresses the need to combine theoretical reflection with practical research on security.
