War as a traditional source of jeopardizing national and in territorial security undergoes transformation and the public perception is that it poses a less realistic threat. New security challenges are taking its place. World peace and security as well as traditional threats, which could influence them, in modern age came across new security challenges, which determine way and measures which states and international community must define and undertake in order to stop them. Issues that in the past were believed to have no influence on the security of societies, as well as on the international security, by the end of the Cold war started to gain on significance. These are primarily: terrorism, ethnic conflicts, organized crime, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, rising economic disparities on the global level caused by neoliberal concept of earning, and the global warming.
