Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2012, Vol 165, Issue 3
Abstract
Security is of political nature; however, it does not stand for the essence of political security. This security category is a result of the application of the sector security analysis methodology. According to the methodology, all security-related issues are divided into sectors where detailed analyses are conducted with the application of specialized research methods, techniques and means. The use of sector methodology is a consequence of widening the meaning of contemporary security that makes it complex and multidimensional. A comprehensive security analysis can be confined to six sectors: political, military, economic, ecological, societal and common security. The contents of the political security sector are varied and hinged upon the level of analysis and the security subject type the analysis is conducted for. Generally, the political security of political units means the state of the certainty of existence, sovereign functioning and development of its political system. It is achieved as a result of lack of political threats or possession of appropriate capability to protect against them.Crucial to understanding political security are political threats, which are occurrences, processes and activities that can harm the existence, sovereign functioning and development of a political unit’s political system, but only those not included in other security sectors.The article provides a general overview of the political security sector and political security, and can be a starting point for further detailed analysis conducted from the perspective of specific subject categories placed on varied levels of analysis.
