National security, sovereignty and civil society

Abstract

This article intends to support that, in the current world-wide historical picture, the problem of the national security and the sovereignty cannot be analyzed with the same concepts of before: it is not plus a question of State in strict direction, nor very but a military problem, despite it continues to be one matter of state. The problem left to belong exclusively to the field of the relations between States and became a problem of the communities as a whole, governments, companies, civil societies, citizens. It exceeded the national borders, for more than it continues to take root in concrete national experiences and to find, in these experiences, good part of its determination. Exactly by this, it cannot be decided nor “out” of the State or “without” the State, nor exclusively for the State.
