"CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKS FOR UNDERSTANDING NATIONAL AND REGIONAL SECURITY CHALLENGES"

Аннотация

This paper explores the theoretical foundations of national and regional security studies, emphasizing their impact on sustainable interstate relations. As security challenges escalate social, economic, and political tensions, the need for systematic analysis has grown. The development of research centers and think tanks has contributed to the evolution of security studies, especially after World War II and during the Cold War. Modern security concepts increasingly link sovereignty with security, influencing global policy frameworks. The study focuses on three influential theoretical schools-the Copenhagen, Welsh, and Paris Schools-highlighting their contributions to reshaping traditional security paradigms through interdisciplinary and critical approaches.
