ANTE ACTIO: GRAND STRATEGY, POLICY, STRATEGIES, AND OBJECTIVES IN THE AREA OF NATIONAL SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: Before the Second World War, the Grand Strategy and national security policy had mainly a military component, and foreign policy was an area almost different from the latter. Subsequently, the development of the characteristics of national and international security environment towards more unpredictability and interdependence both between different areas of the world, and between various social phenomena caused the conceptual reassessment of grand strategies and the correlation of national security policy with external policy. The entire process of formulating Grand Strategy, policies, strategies and objectives in the area of national security was supplemented with new variables, reflecting, on the one hand, the complexity of defining national security through its two components, physical and psychological, and, on the other hand, illustrating the volatile nature of the security environment. In this perspective, this paper presents a theoretical approach on the lines that guide decision-making in the sphere of national security, preceding the actual action.
