Sažetak
A national security system today represents a synthesis of all subsystems within a society, because it provides the basic conditions necessary for a society’s survival and development and the quality of life as well as activities aimed at fortifying the capacity of societies and nature to withstand jeopardy. It also helps in fending off the repercussions cause by the sources of danger. National security systems of contemporary states comprise the function and the structure of national security that includes not only the capacity of a state to preserve the society’s values when faced with internal and external threats to their citizen’s peace and freedom, but also joint action with other social subsystems for the sake of the progress of the entire society. The efforts of modern states to achieve demilitarization as part of their national strategies can be the starting-point for the formation of new national security systems which would realize their security and defense needs without creating a social basis for the process of militarization. The process of demilitarization in modern society cannot in itself represent the model for the national security system, but it can be its basic component.
