Summary/Abstract: In the author’s opinion, current globalization trends after the Cold War resulted in a redefinition of the territorial concepts from a geopolitical points of view. This is reflected in the security studies which embraced the post-positivist paradigm emphasizing threats to identity and values rather than military classical threats. States are confronted with terrorism and asymmetrical threats, thus they have shifted their security priorities from external enemies, especially foreign states, to domestic and transnational terrorism, and their reaction meant the increase of the mechanisms of watching and control on the population, with a special regard on immigrants.
