Summary/Abstract: A doctrinal deduction of the concept of total national defence from Marx's concept of an armed people might, in modern circumstances, limit the development of the function of defence and protection. The concept of total national defence and social self¬-protection ought to overcome its reduction to the idea of an armed people. Increasing etatism and the crisis of the socio-political system exercise an unfavourable effect upon the implementation of the project and the system of total national defence and social self-protection. This manifests itself in unacceptable ideas concerning the federalization of the Yugoslav army, national armies, civil military service, the non-constitutional activity of the committees for the total national defence and social self-protection, etc. The constitutional reform is an opportunity for the introduction of improvements and further perfectioning in this area by increasing the skill, efficacy and creativity of the subjects involved.
