Abstract
Security is a condition inherent to societies cared for by a state and on which we are accustomed to. Most people, generally, begin thinking of security only when they start to lose it. When we speak of economic, social or health security they are a part of political parties programs, and are thought of mostly in pre-election periods and before mentioned security components represent a “lower” level of value for which we’re prepared to engage the state’s most significant resources while the process of losing the individual or, partly, national security, an attack on a personal integrity or a national entity, a condition like that motivates us for undertaking concrete measures. National security is organized, generated and furthered as the primary social function which is placed in the area of the community’s public expenditure. But, what happens when protection of national interests and achieving goals of national security becomes merchandise for sale? Is it a case of an alienation of the social character of a national security? That is the subject of this article.
