"The concept of “security”, its language and design, is difficult to define in a general sense in a general sense, because it has a multiplicity of techniques in general terms, and how it will be, "What does security mean?" Still, it is a general choice of appropriate value: a general choice of value to hold. Securitization, which is one of the fundamental foundations of the Copenhagen School, whose foundations were laid in the framework of systems peace and security in 1985, is the most general, aimed at a danger that is sought by any subject for everyone from a security point of view and should be devoid of these necessary things, and lacks these urgent tools. development by the relevant actors. It can also be designed to be economical without being converted to another security environment. In terms of internal security, it becomes legitimate to use force against the object, military force, possession and surrender. immersing oneself in politics in a security-related way will be able to demonstrate a politically oriented lifestyle and lifestyle. After securitization, the concept or object has succeeded in securitizing the security object acceptance. After the Cold War, this security object has become not only a national threat, but also in areas such as human security, transition and justice.
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 International Relations studies, it refers to the difficulty of increasing the security of a state without simultaneously and inadvertently reducing the security of other states. The term, which was first coined in an article written by John H. Herz in 1950, refers to a dilemma that occurs as a result of insecurity due to the anarchic nature of the international system. According to Herz, in an international system where there is no order and trust, states entered into an arms race with the anxiety brought about by insecurity, causing this race to enter a vicious circle due to the perception of threat. In this cycle, the efforts of states to maximize their own security continued with the arms race, and this race made the international system even more insecure. Robert Jervis, in an article he wrote in 1978, emphasized the importance of factors in determining the severity of a security dilemma, whether the attacking side has an advantage over the defending side and whether an offensive stance can be distinguished from a defensive stance. In this dilemma, uncertain signals are more likely to be interpreted as threats and crises are more likely to escalate due to mutual distrust. Sources: John H.

Security intelligence is a specific type of intelligence consisting of the stages of determining the need, obtaining information, evaluating, analyzing and distributing information, within the scope of the conditions and limits determined by law for the society and the state, within an auditable confidentiality area as opposed to absolute confidentiality, in order to establish social peace and trust. as can be expressed.
Self-defense units consist of civilians mobilized to protect themselves from formations that pose a threat to their communities. Self-defense units, which we can say consisting of local people, are fighting for the interests of their personal and community with intelligence and local information from the field they are familiar with. It is increasingly seen that civilians are taking a more active role by forming self-defense units and promoting their own self-defense, rather than remaining passive in the face of entities that threaten their communities. However, while organized civilians can be effective in dealing with those who pose a threat to their communities, self-defense units can also pose a threat to the territorial integrity of the state in which they are located.

The concept of social conflict, which is also used as social conflict in the security literature, means "personal or social groups trying to hinder each other's goals and prevent the realization of their interests". In some cases, the word “conflict” is used directly instead of the concept of “social conflict”. 19. From the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, (Social) Conflict Theories have been extensively discussed. 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
Although it is not possible to reach a generally accepted definition of terrorism in International Law, in the security studies literature; It is expressed as "acts of violence and intimidation" aimed at creating an atmosphere of fear and panic on the target audience/society in order to achieve strategic, political, religious or financial goals by states or groups or organizations related to states. Within the scope of international law, the United Nations (UN) Security Council VII. When acts of state bodies that constitute international crimes and threaten international peace and security are caused, individual criminal responsibility of state bodies may come to the fore due to these crimes, and thus, the right of self-defense of the target state may emerge.

Strategy is the art and science of shaping military means to support the political ends adopted in times of peace and war by a nation or group of nations in any area of conflict. In strategic studies, the vehicles are military vehicles and the conflict area is the international system. The aims are the political targets of the actors who have important and effective roles in the international context. For this reason, strategic studies are used regarding the application of military capability to achieve political goals. Throughout the Cold War, this field has been a large and important subfield in the discipline of international relations, especially in the United States. Strategic studies are about the processes of confrontation between states and other political actors to achieve their goals, how they use power and how their conflicts can be shaped, and is closely related to realism because it focuses on military power and state strategies.
