The concept was coined by Karl Deutsch in 1957 as a way to contribute to the search for ways in which war would not be seen as inevitable. According to Deutsch, a security society is a group of people with a sense of community who believe they have agreed that common social problems are solvable through peaceful processes of change. Peaceful change, on the other hand, has been defined as the solution of social problems through institutionalized procedures, largely without resorting to physical force. The formation of a culture of peace based on common values ​​between societies of similar nature is the establishment of mutual trust through social communication. This social communication, on the other hand, will create a common communication effect between different societies and make a transboundary peace possible. According to Deutsch, there are two basic security societies: pluralistic and amalgamated. A pluralistic security community is formed by independent states based on common values ​​and interests, while a unified security community refers to two or more independent political units having a common government and forming a larger unit.

In the literature of security studies, if a state is stronger than its neighbors, it has to more likely penetrate to disquieting issues. For instance, if a medium sized state thought its country in a dangerous situation, it may feel obliged to use hard power. If there is no security threat, it is best to use soft power. In the terminology of international relations, Joseph S. Nye called the combination of “hard and soft powers” as “smart power”. In security issues that require intense strategy, such as contend with terrorism, it is necessary to use a combination of soft power that appeal’s to sentiments and hard power that pushes states to act as desired which called as “smart power”.

Conflict, which is the main dynamic of the social structure, is expressed as "the element that determines the society and advances it". Also, according to Marx's Conflict Theory, human history is defined by class struggle. Resources: Glossary of Security Terms

Social Disorder Theory is a theory that studies the interaction of crime with the social environment. It was developed by C. Shaw and H. Mckay in the early 20th century. The basis of the theory of social disorder is the explanation of the differences in crime and crime numbers across both time and space as a product of institutional (family, school, friendship, etc.) fragmentation. The varying levels of cooperative organization associated with these institutions cause a change in the interdependence that an individual may feel in relation to that community. The result is less social deterrence for crime/delinquency and higher rates observed in such activities. Social disorder as an explanation for crime variations is associated with the rise of individualism, rapid social change, and the ensuing 'disorder' or 'disruptive' forces. Factors of social disorder theory; single-parent homes are mobility, diversity and poverty. These factors determine a community's ability to socially control and transmit norms, expectations, and values ​​that dilute its socialization modes and lead to acceptable successful outcomes.

In political science, interventions that aim to change or manipulate people's ideas and behaviors in a social and cultural context are called interventions. Interventions that can affect societies on a large scale can cause planned social and cultural change. This change takes place through the use of tools such as television, advertisements, the internet and censorship. In order for the change to reach the desired dimensions, social structure analysis is carried out with scientific research on groups or societies. The term is used in the field of information security today, especially in the sense of obtaining personal or confidential information through fraudulent redirection.

A social movement is a large enterprise/activity organized to promote or resist some social change. Although this activity is organized in a loose structure, it shows continuity. Although social movements vary in size, they are all essentially collective. That is, they arise from a more or less spontaneous gathering of people whose relationships are not defined by rules and procedures, but who only share a common view of society. Collective behavior in crowds and basic forms is short-lived or episodic and is largely driven by impulse. When short-lived impulses lead to long-term goals and sustained relationship replaces people's situational groupings, the result is a social movement. The problems in the practices of the socio-political structure towards the society give direction to the social movements, motivate them and provide the emergence of demands in this direction.

Socialism; It was shaped in the West in the 19th century and studied in a systematic framework by Marx and Engels. Socialism is a doctrine, a political movement that aims the working class to take power from the bourgeoisie through a political revolution. Thus, a classless society and world will be created by replacing capitalist production relations with social production relations. The concept was clearly articulated in the Communist Party Manifesto, published in 1848. Socialist thought asserts that individuals cannot live alone. Therefore, he argues that it is important to produce and share together. According to the socialist view, individuals do not live or work alone, they live in cooperation with each other. Because socialism does not give private property to a single person, the control of natural resources is in society. Socialism describes a society system or situation in which the means of production are owned by the society and controlled by the state. A society that is a transition between capitalism and communism in Marxist theory is a stage. Resources: Glossary of Security Terms; Encyclopaedia Britannica; Merriam-Webster.

Soft power is the capacity to persuade others to do what they want. Joseph Nye defines soft power as the ability to shape what one wants by making others attractive. This appeal is based on intangible resources such as culture, ideology, and institutions that can help legitimize a particular state's power and policy in the eyes of others. The ability to set the international agenda and set the rules of the game is an important type of soft power. According to Nye, a country's soft power is based on the attractiveness of its culture, its internal political and social values, and the style and substance of its foreign policies. To increase soft power, state activities must be perceived as legitimate.

The person who first introduced the concept of sovereignty was Jean Bodin. Based on this word, which he derived from the Latin term superanus (top), he used the term souveraineté to mean "the permanent and highest power of the state". In a state within certain boundaries, the fact that another power does not use force has led to a duality after a while. While one side sees sovereignty as unlimited and absolute, the other party restricts it by dividing it. Sovereignty or domination; It is a tool, the essence of the state, that continues its existence by settling on all institutions and theories in order to legitimize state authority. It is a concept that ensures the establishment of a balance between authority and freedom. According to the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey; Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the nation. The Turkish nation exercises sovereignty through legally authorized bodies and this right cannot be left to any group, institution or class. In no case can sovereignty be exercised outside the constitutional framework .

The starting point of the concept is based on Ancient Greece and political life in Athens. The principle of rule of law has an important place in the theories of Plato and Aristotle. Although the rule of law is different as Rechtsstaat in the German tradition and rule of law in the Anglo-Saxon tradition, it has found its place in idioms with common ground. Kemal Gözler states that the legislature, the executive branch and the judiciary are bound by the law as three basic requirements of the rule of law. The concept of state of law was first introduced in Turkey in the book Administrative Law written by Sıddık Sami Onar, the founder of modern Turkish administrative law, in 1938. The 1961 Constitution was the first Turkish constitution to use the rule of law. The phrase "state of law", which is regulated as the basic characteristic of the state in the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey, is included in the 2nd article of the 1982 Constitution.
