THE ANALYSIS OF THE VULNERABILITIES FOR THE SECURITY
THE ANALYSIS OF THE VULNERABILITIES FOR THE SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: Some of the current security risks differ fundamentally from those at the end of the last century. Of course, some risks have the capacity to transcend history (war, epidemic risks, etc.), but they also change their relevance with the evolution of society. Action by the international community is constantly adapting to new realities. The challenges are not only about military conflicts between states, but are much more complex in nature. One of the causes of the change in the paradigm of risks is the emergence of non-state actors alongside state actors. When viewed systemically, the concepts under analysis are always in a well-defined report. During their coexistence, when security forecasts do not see the elimination of one too soon, risks, threats and vulnerabilities can operate in accordance with the principles of zero-sum gaming. Thus, national security can be ensured either by reducing vulnerabilities or by preventing threats or mitigating risks. It determines the orientation of the national security strategy that can focus inward, trying to reduce the state's vulnerabilities, or outward, by allocating forces and means to act directly or not on the sources of risk.
