Abstract
Sovereignty and national security represent two distinctly important and in their emergence and development mutually interwined concepts, which are embedded in the idea of modern state as the most important actor of political and social processes. Except presenting an overview of theoretical considerations and perspectives on concepts of sovereignty, national security and the state, this paper also provides an insight to problematic characteristics and dimensions that they contain. The aim of this paper is to point out ways in which national security and sovereignty related practices of state, due to the complexity of social and political institutions and relations, in reality often deviate ftom their defining normes and rules. Analysis of the concepts of sovereignty and national security, including state, will provide an explanation of their position in the problematic area between normative and empirical, and determine ways in which social processes, relations, movements and institutions are thus affected in reality.
