Summary/Abstract: It is more and more pragmatic the fact that, in the near future, both explanations and the form of the concept of national security will have to adapt to the model of responding to the need to guarantee the enforcement of law, the rule of law and social security, especially the part concerning the normative architecture with regard to the asymmetric and hybrid parts of the future concepts of risk and threat that society will have to accept and face. The challenges to which the world has been subjected for the last two years are raising a red flag, emphasizing the need for a change of view but also for a closer coollaboration between institutinos, at the level of the defense system, public order and national security, able to react effectively to the wide range of dangers, including the Covid-19 pandemic. The last two years of pandemic have impacted the whole world, so that both the law, through the existing systems, and the various concepts of national security, have reacted to this form of social imbalance. The article tries to capture the impact of the pandemic, the reactions related to the behavior and attitude of the individual, from the perspective of extremist-terrorist beliefs, with an impact on the processes generating criminal activities, in the interaction between the groups and individual entities in the society. Equally, the text will aim to highlight the social impact, of a complex and diffuse nature, as well as the evolution recorded at the level of the phenomena of radicalization and extremism, together with the influences on society, in the short and medium term.
