Abstract
Security is a concept whose main feature is the social conditioning of the concept. Also, security is a socially constructed concept that speaks of the subjective nature of security. The objective nature of security is realized in the institution of the state, which ensures the joint action of social actors with the aim of preserving common acquired values. In this way, the realization of safety as a public good is ensured, since it is ensured for every social actor in the same way. However, ensuring security and national security never ends since risk is constantly produced and reproduced. For this reason, it is necessary to change the approach to the study of security. The approach to the study of security is also changing due to the process of privatization of security, which is the main feature of this paper. The process of privatization of security and the development of the private security sector called into question the importance of the institution of the state in society, it called into question the connection between the state and the private security sector, as well as the way in which this connection is observed. By observing the connection between the state and the private security sector, it is possible to answer the question of whether the role of the state in society is changing due to the development of companies in the private security sector.
