The Security and Values

Summary/Abstract: In this work there is analyzed an axiological dimension of security, or the role that the values have had in defining the notion of security and establishment of different security concepts. The values represent also the main criteria as the basis for constitution of national, social and human individual security, not only as different levels of security, but also the concepts of security that have been based in different value systems. Author of the text underlined the problems of securitization and de- securitization of the values as a process putting certain social values into the focus of the security studies, and accordingly putting them into the focus of security strategy, or, on the other side, such process might exclude the values from the focus and thas, as a consequence, has significant implications on the whole system of security. National security emphasizes the state sovereignty and territorial integrity as its priority, as the main values that need to be the object of safety security. The state sovereignty and territorial integrity are the security notions of main significance, therefore here it is not the word about their securitization, but instead of it, these same notion, taking into consideration a concept of human individual security comprehended in a banal way, could be comprehended as de-secularized ones, or, in other words, their significance as a security phenomenon could be lessened to some extent. Social security underlines the values of social groups that are not (do not represent) the state. Theoreticians supporting the concept of social security securitize the identity as the value that is supposed to represent the notion of safety security. Human individual security implies the security of the values of a human individual, as the values representing the notion of safety security. However, within the field of the security studies, there have been different understandings of the values relating to individual, that need to be secularized. The standpoints on the values in need of securitization within the field of human individual security range from the human rights to the crime and corruption, all the way to the global economy and the problems related to globalization.
