Abstract:
All the new risks and threats to the national security have caused each
society to reconsider the general human values, values that represent a bridge
between states and nations. Following the threat of the Sovietic bloc, the
Western world, and beyond, has defined its main risks, dangers and threats to
the national and international security taking into consideration both the major
changes in the security environment – increased international terrorism,
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction – and the political, economic and
social development of Western countries.
Thus, the project aims to determine the role and importance of the
existence of a security culture within any society, and to show, at the same time,
how this culture has transformed under the influence of globalization and not
only, from the concept of security to the concept of Intelligence. Furthermore,
I will emphasize the role of Intelligence within society and to point out how
society as a whole, and Intelligence organizations in particular, had to adapt to
the changes that have shaped the world in the past 20 years.
Keywords: security culture, intelligence, globalization, concepts,
risks, dangers, threats.
