Summary/Abstract: This article dives into the complex interaction between the erosion of civil society and its potential consequences for the system of national security. Civil society degradation poses a growing threat to global national security, with consequences that demand attention. The erosion of civic engagement, civil liberties, and trust in institutions presents a concerning trend. Factors contributing to this issue include government suppression, disinformation, and economic inequality. The implications for national security are profound, with a weakened civil society rendering nations more vulnerable to crises and internal and external threats. Proactive measures are essential to counter this threat, encompassing the protection of civil society organizations, media literacy, and policies addressing disparities. Safeguarding civil society is critical for maintaining stability and security.
