Kalachev D. N. Security: the evolution of the concept

Abstract: The article refines the definition of “security” as a state of being protected from possible harm, and the ability to deter and deflect adverse influence, as well as to quickly compensate for damage. Despite numerous interpretations of this definition present in Russian and foreign literature, the very concept of security is subject to discussion. This article also traces the evolution of the definition of security – all the way from traditional military interpretation towards multidimensional interpretation that clarifies, broadens and deepens the said term. The methodological basis of this research is focused on the systemic, structural and functional, comparative and historical, comparative and political, geopolitical, cultural and civilization-based approaches, and the methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, modeling and observation. The study of modern issues of national security, in connection with the broad global field of interrelations is a complex and multifaceted process, affected by demographic, technological, political, information, environmental, social and economic, political, historical and cultural factors both domestic and global.
