FORCE AND SECURITY

National security is the primary purpose of any state government, as it involves protecting territorial
integrity, sovereignty, population, culture, and economic prosperity. The anarchic nature of the
international system implies that all states are "structurally insecure," reinforcing the need to protect
national security. Even though advanced states have experienced prolonged periods of peace,
national security remains a challenge due to non-traditional threats, such as global terrorism.
National security is always relative since it cannot be achieved absolutely, and no state can be
absolutely secure, especially in an international system composed of independent and sovereign
states.
Strategic doctrine implements strategic and specific theories in particular circumstances and
serves in the pursuit of specific objectives by providing a clear projection of foreign policy
objectives and the expected repercussions in the event of hostility. In addition to aiding in the
appropriate and cost-effective choice of appropriate military technology, strategic doctrine must
be compatible with leadership diplomacy and serve foreign policy objectives. An effective
strategic doctrine must be quickly applicable in most parts of the international system, not be
overly complicated, be supported by those who promulgate it, and be accepted by the public.
In democracies, it is especially important for the public to be convinced that the doctrine
contributes to national security, if the public is not convinced that the doctrine contributes to
national security, they may object to paying for it and vote for the government to abandon the
doctrine, making it dysfunctional.
Some of the contemporary challenges to national security include global terrorism, the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, instability in regions such as the Middle East, East
Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa, as well as the emergence of transnational threats that are not
defined by state borders. In addition, national security also faces challenges stemming from
irrational state regimes, anxiety about the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. These
challenges require dynamic and flexible security strategies, as well as constant assessment of
capabilities and adaptation to opponents' strategic innovations.
CONCLUSIONS
After World War II, the United States revived the political use that the word security has had
since ancient times, to elaborate the concept of the "national security state." This concept was
used to designate military defense and internal security, in the face of the threats of revolution,
the instability of capitalism and the destructive capacity of nuclear weapons.
The National Security Doctrine is a military conception of the state and the functioning of
society, security is not only the absence of war, but can involve the perception of threats, the
ability to defend oneself and adaptability to changing circumstances. For example, it is
considered that there is no security where there is no possibility of a dignified life, "where there
is a lack of access to education, health or decent employment".
Security has become increasingly complex in the current context, traditional challenges such as
interstate wars or territorial defense, have been complemented by a wide range of emerging
threats that challenge traditional notions of security. Terrorism is presented as a threat to the
integrity of individuals and to the infrastructure necessary for social development. The volatility
and uncertainty of illegal acts such as terrorism emphasizes the importance of the armed forces'
ability to adapt in protecting vital interests.
In an ever-changing world where national security faces an unprecedented set of challenges,
the dynamic nature of today's environment demands that security strategies be adaptable,
flexible, and able to respond to new and evolving threats.
