Personal Security: Current State and Development Prospects for the Reflection on Security of Individuals and Human Collectivities
Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2017, Vol 23, Issue 23
Abstract
Personal security is a new perspective for the security research and description, which has grown in our times out of a human security concept developed by UN experts. The concept, which the English-language literature analyses mainly from the perspective of security studies, is now becoming a theoretical construct that stands a chance to become an independent subdiscipline of security studies in Poland because it is more and more often invoked as a basic category of national security, next to the security of the state. In this paper, the author presents the current status of the reflection on personal security in Poland and worldwide. He gives an overview of how this new security category is defined, identifies the entities that can be analysed from its perspective, and points out to further directions of research in this area.<br/><br/>
