The current security environment is characterized by an increase in the number of military conflicts and other human-induced problems that threaten human life and co-existence. These challenges force national security professionals, whose primary mission is to establish security, to focus on security issues in a multidimensional way in order to fulfill their duties. Therefore, the quality of the adopted national security conception is critical to deal with current national security issues. That’s why it is aimed to highlight the changing nature of national security paradigms as a core tool for creating and advancing regional and international security, peace and prosperity.
This third edition of the book contains updated versions of many chapters from the previous editions.
