Abstract
Security is a variable category. What makes people and states safe or feel safe
depends upon two basic phenomena. The most obvious source of challenge to our security
is a factor that threatens the values of the people and the values of the state. The first and
most objective of these are physical threats, such as military threats. The second
phenomenon is related to the interpretation of the impact of the environment on the security
meaning, or how the environment influences perceptions and interpretations of security and
insecurity as well. The focus of the paper analysis is on exploring different security
interpretations, specifically through the prism of the four generations of security studies.
Actually, such four generations of security studies provide the necessary theoretical
framework for comprehensive analysis in this regard. Hence, the paper is analyzing the
evolutionary nature of security understanding in a variety of historical and environmental
aspects.
