Security, threats and hazards in their current general and specific forms: a new theory of security
Security, threats and hazards in their current general and specific forms: a new theory of security

Summary/Abstract: Several serious circumstances gave the impulse to write this essay: since 2008 a crisis situation has remained, albeit with varying intensity, the international security situation as well as the debt and institutional crisis are getting worse not only in the Euro zone. The probably organized migration wave continues to roll across the permeable borders of the Schengen area, which shows how fragile and powerless the European Union is. The migration has been dividing the EU Member States into patriarchal and patrimonial and the distrust between communities has been increasing. Moreover, in some regions of Europe (France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, United Kingdom) there are closed communities in which the law of the majority is not valid. Our current socio-political and economic existence is based on the traditional understanding of security. The second decade of the 21st century, however, sets a mirror to the political and military conservatives that reflects the image of prosperity and security from a different angle than it was in the previous years. Prosperity and security have been threatened by "overlooked threats" such as terrorism, separatism and radical Islamism, whether of global or regional nature.
