The Specificity of the Terminology Used in Security Studies

Summary/Abstract: Security Studies include almost every aspect of human activities and various environments where humanity functions. Research that is held in this field results in theoretical conclusions, as well as catalogs of utilitarian good practices and optimal solutions. The descriptions of scientific inquires includes and uses terms that have their origins in various fields of social science, which forces the user to be able to properly use the specialist language. When looking at the literature in this field, one can see that there are many instances of wrong usage of specialist terminology, words borrowed from foreign languages and creation of new terms that are not necessarily useful when trying to understand security, systematization of views, or creating paradigms. The aim of this paper is to sensitize researchers from the field of security studies to take care to use the proper terminology apparatus that helps to develop this particular field of social studies.
