So you need to understand

First, write down the definition of national security concept.

Then look down.

The traditional concept of national security emphasizes political security and military security, and the security object is basically limited to political and military security matters with the country as the main body, defending against military threats from abroad, with the aim of keeping the enemy out of the country, and preparing for and winning is the center of national security work.

Since 1980, China has enjoyed peace for 24 years. Dr. Lin Dong pointed out that, like many peaceful countries and nations in the world, "we all have a common problem, that is, apart from the strong sense of national security of the country and the army because they are preparing for war, the psychological distance and physical distance between local governments, enterprises, the public and national defense are far away, and the people's sense of national crisis is very weak."

"However, the third wave of information revolution sweeping the globe has changed all this." Lin Dong believes that due to the great changes in the security environment faced by all countries in the world, the demands of countries and people in the world today not only go far beyond the scope of war and political and military security, but also put forward new requirements for traditional political and military security. The threat to a country's security comes not only from the outside, but also from the inside. Since the end of the Cold War, the world has turned to the track of peace and development, and the risk of war between big countries has been significantly reduced. The era of world wars and large-scale wars between countries and even Armageddon between big powers has faded, and even dangerous games such as large-scale arms race between big powers have greatly cooled down. Therefore, "the national defense under the traditional security concept presents the phenomenon of strategic relaxation."

However, this relaxation is very dangerous. Because "the struggle between great powers has not disappeared, but has changed its form, seeking peaceful evolution based on force to seek political and economic interests, that is, external military threats are imposed on you, and internal economic, social and cultural crises create for you, jointly undermining sovereignty, occupying territory, controlling resources, and even subverting political power."

The rise of non-traditional threats, such as terrorism, makes the country face new enemies, and terrorist forces launch attacks from within society to achieve their political goals by creating social crises. "Although the destructive power of terrorist attacks has not reached the level of war losses, the social and psychological shock it caused and the loss of public security are no less than those in the war era. The social security of every country is facing unprecedented severe challenges, and social security has become an important part of national security. " Today, with such great changes in the national security situation, Lin Dong believes that it is "important and urgent" to establish a new concept of national security.

Lin Dong said: "The new concept of national security includes social security, economic security, scientific and technological security, cultural security and information security, which greatly expands the historical mission of national defense. These areas are closely related to the lives of ordinary people. It can be said that today's national defense is not alienated from the people, but closer. "

He made an image metaphor. If national security is a barrel, all parts of the "new security concept" are wooden boards on the barrel. Any low wooden board will affect the water holding capacity of the whole barrel. "However, it is very important that national security can not be separated from the army, nor can it be separated from the government, enterprises and the public. National security is the security of every citizen. This requires that every citizen must ideologically change from the old traditional security concept to the expanded' new security concept', be prepared for danger in times of peace, and keep a sense of urgency in his heart. "

Economic globalization is profoundly changing the way of social progress and the development direction of human civilization, and has become an important factor affecting national behavior. The background, influencing factors and means of realization of national security have all changed.

From a political point of view, the process of globalization has greatly changed the connotation of a country and its sovereignty. With the deepening of national interdependence, people's practice of measuring national security by absolute sovereignty has changed. From the economic point of view, the global financial, trade and service market supervision system is more market-centered, and the national economy is facing greater risks and challenges. From a cultural point of view, developed countries occupy a dominant position in the dissemination of cultural information. They spread and promote their own values and have an impact on the original social and cultural foundation of other countries. From the military point of view, military security is still the basic content of national security, and military will still be the basic means to safeguard national security.

With the development of globalization, people's national security concept is constantly changing and adjusting. Generally speaking, firstly, the concept of security subject has changed greatly. The subject of security not only includes the state, but also extends downward to individuals and upward to groups and international (people). Correspondingly, the subjects that pose a threat to the country are also diversified.

Second, national security has changed from absolute to relative, and the security situation is always changing. The realization of national security is not necessarily related to national strength. The "9. 1 1" terrorist attack is a powerful example.

Third, the concept of national security is changing from attaching importance to external factors affecting national security to internal factors. After the Cold War, with the maturity and perfection of the international mechanism, cooperation has become the main choice to deal with the relations between countries. In reality, it is rare for a country to annex the territory of another country, but there are more and more cases in which some countries intensify social contradictions due to internal problems, threaten the security and stability of countries and regions, and then trigger the intervention of the international community.

Fourth, from advocating hard power to advocating soft power. Before World War II, military, population, resources and other hard power factors were the leading factors that affected and determined national security. At present, the soft power factors such as national cohesion, national system, science and technology, culture and information play an increasingly important role in national security.

China is one of the few countries that completely rely on their own strength to safeguard their own security, which determines that territorial, sovereignty and military security are still the main contents of China's national security at present. However, we should also see that after "9. 1 1", both traditional and non-traditional security issues are in the process of one after another. Therefore, we should also pay attention to non-traditional security issues, plan ahead, take a long-term view, and pay attention to the initiative of national security. ▲
