Summary/Abstract: Security studies have tackled the two concepts, national defense and national security over the last twenty years repeatedly and systematically, and yet, on the social scene, the debates have not helped to shape clear meanings for the two concepts. Academic, analytical, political, and sometimes legislative efforts, though beneficial, sweep from the total separation of the two concepts, their subordination and their merger, which also confuses the social system as a whole.
