Foreign policy and citizens’ ontological security: An experimental approach

Ontological security theory posits that states seek to provide their citizens not just physical but also cognitive security, mostly through routinised foreign policy practices that reinforce notions of the national Self. Several studies established this theoretical assertion at the individual level, using various qualitative methods. This study adds to the literature by taking an experimental approach to provide further empirical support. It develops a novel index for the measurement of foreign policy behaviour’s effect on individual citizens’ ontological security and employs it in a survey experiment. The experiment examines whether Jewish-Israelis experience change in their sense of ontological security due to their state’s deviation from its long-standing offensive–defensive security doctrine. The findings demonstrate that citizens indeed form an attachment to their state’s foreign policy practices and that deviation from them can impair their sense of ontological security. This suggests that seemingly rational, strategically warranted policies might sometimes bear unexpected costs for policymakers.

Food Security at the Village Level: Learning from Hargorejo Village as a Village for Reducing Food Insecurity in the Special Region of Yogyakarta

This study aims to analyze food security at the village level, especially in Hargorejo Village, because Hargorejo Village has made achievements in reducing food insecurity in Yogyakarta. Thus making Hargorejo Village a pilot village for food security for other villages, especially villages still experiencing food insecurity. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method, with a literature study using secondary data from the analysis of previous research and several mass media. Researchers used Webb and Rogers' food security theory to find out more details related to food security in Hargorejo Village. There are several indicators of food security: food availability, access, and absorption. The study's results stated that sweet potatoes were the most dominant food supply in Hargorejo Village on the food availability indicator. With data from village food production in Kokap District, this village produced 2,777 tons of cassava per year, then on the food access indicator, in accessing food in Hargorejo Village. More dominant in using physical access than social and economic access. This is evidenced by the description, which shows that there is physical access in the form of opening new land and making reservoirs by the Village Head of Hargorejo Village to supply the availability of food and clean water. Finally, on the food absorption indicator, it is noted that this village has a good record of nutrition and intake, as evidenced by the distribution table for the energy and protein adequacy consumption of rice and cassava by farm and non-farmer households.

Turkey’s Role in South Caucasus

This paper will study Turkey’s influence in South Caucasus. The study applies Barry Buzan and Ole Waever’s Regional Security Complex Theorem (RSCT) to understand Turkey’s politics in the region since the end of the Cold War. The author of this paper shares the belief with the coiners of the RSCT that it is necessary to combine systemic, regional, national, and domestic factors to provide the most accurate description and prediction of potential developments in international politics. Importantly, it is crucial to wisely combine the age-old tenets of Realist theory with important constructivist concepts to better explain security. In this regard RSCT, in the humble opinion of the author, is the most complete theorem in the field of international relations to analyze the behavior of any particular state and/or dynamics of global and regional interaction among states. For the purposes of the research it is important to place Turkey correctly in the framework of Buzan and Waever’s theory and concepts - that is, classify Turkey correctly according to their taxonomy and fortunately, they help me with this. They have devoted important part of their work to insulator states such as Turkey. Turkey’s role as an insulator state is particularly interesting to me. To paint a comprehensive picture of the geopolitics in Caucasus the roles of the US, Russia and EU will be investigated from the perspective of RSCT. Again, the investigation will be detailed and hopefully, productive. Theoretical Framework: Following theories will be presented before the author suggests the goggles that should be fashioned for the purpose of this research: "Political realism theory", whose main subject is the state; The theory of "cooperative security" - Cohen's concept, which includes recognition of common threats by states and joint efforts on it; Complex theory of regional security - RSCT, which is also related to the Copenhagen school.

ეროვნული უშიშროების თეორიის კვლევის მეთოდოლოგიის თავისებურება

The complex of concepts describing unified system of national security, threats, risks, challenges, and the resisting counter-system, is the most problematic aspect of the methodology of ensuring and studying national security. It should be clarified what sphere is given to the theory of national security in the system of scientific knowledge. It is important to determine its relationship with both the specialized theories of security and social, humanitarian, natural science, etc. It should be specified: which field of scientific knowledge does the theory of national security belong to, which sciences are its philosophical and methodological foundations, which sciences does it interact with, and for which it acts as an ideological and methodological landmark. It is of great importance to fully understand the general theory of national security, because it allows to clearly outline the mechanisms and processes specific to the field of national security of Georgia.

Xi Jinping’s “The Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation - Chinese Dream” as an Ideological Basis for the National Security of China

The turn of Russia’s foreign policy vector to the East stimulates the better understanding of political processes and phenomena in China, which have not yet been sufficiently considered in Russian academia and political elites. Unlike the lack of a clear value-ideological basis of the national security system in Russia, China has solved this problem by including a conceptual level in the system of national security, with the concept of “The Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation - Chinese Dream” at its center. This concept, developed by Xi Jinping, involves renewing the ideological foundations of China, especially the Communist Party, as the backbone of the entire state. This concept, as is customary in Chinese culture, does not negate the previous ones, but only expands and complements all the previous concepts formulated by the country’s past leaders: “Great Leap Forward”, “Reforms and Openness”, etc. The purpose of the study is to reveal the concept of “The Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation - Chinese Dream” as the ideological basis of China’s national security. The methods of analysis of normative documents and discourse analysis of the Chinese leader’s speeches were applied to reveal the traditional cultural values of Chinese civilization with Confucian and Legist bias are in the center of the idea of the “Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation - Chinese Dream”. This concept was examined in our study through the prism of national security theory, which acquired an updated structure consisting of levels: conceptual, sectoral (spheres), institutional (forces) and resource (means). We conclude that this concept applies to all spheres of China’s national security system and is the ideological basis of this system, predetermining the paradigm of China’s development.

Ketidakpatuhan Tiongkok terhadap Sino-British Joint Declaration dalam Implementasi Kebijakan “One Country, Two Systems” Hong Kong

AbstrakIn general, this research discusses China's non-compliance with the Sino-British Joint Declaration agreement in implementing policies on the principle of "One Country, Two Systems" in Hong Kong. The interesting thing in this research is that the “One Country, Two Systems” system is a unique system of government because it has never been implemented in any country other than China. The Gap Research in this research is that China in the last ten years has shown an increasingly disobedient attitude towards the Sino-British Joint Declaration even though the agreement is a solution so that "One Country, Two Systems" can be carried out as it should. This non-compliance made China criticized by many countries but there was no intention of China to return to complying with the agreement. This research uses state security theory, state sovereignty theory, and compliance-based theory. With this theory, it can be seen what factors made China disobedient to the Sino-British Joint Declaration.Keywords: International Agreement, Democratization, One Country Two Systems, China, Hong Kong.

Approaches for Think Tanks in Türkiye to The 2011 Syrian Migration in The Context of Security Theories

Amaç: Göç devlet, birey ve değerler noktasında siyasi, ekonomik, toplumsal güvenlik temelli tehditleri barındırmaktadır. 2011 yılında yaşanan Suriye iç savaşı ile birlikte Türkiye’ye yönelik gerçekleşen kitlesel göç güvenlik tartışmalarını başlatmıştır. Bir taraftan misafir ülke halkı diğer taraftan göç edenler açısından farklı güvenlik tehditleri gündeme gelmiştir. Bu tehditlere karşı çözüm üretme görevi üstlenmiş olan düşünce kuruluşları, belirli bir konuda politika değişiklikleri veya yeni yaklaşımlar önererek politika yapım sürecine katkıda bulunabilir. Bu nedenle göçün güvenlikle bağlantısına, düşünce kuruluşlarının yaklaşımları bu alana yönelik kamu politikası oluşturma çabaları açısından da önemlidir. Çalışma, bu yaklaşımdan hareketle Türkiye’deki düşünce kuruluşlarının konuya güvenlik teorileri bağlamında yaklaşımlarını ele almayı amaçlamaktadır.
 Tasarım/Yöntem: Araştırmada “2020 Global Go To Think Tank Index”de yer alan düşünce kuruluşuna ait rapor incelemeye alınmıştır. Raporlar doküman analizi yöntemi ile “güvenlik” anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir.
 Bulgular: Analizler sonucunda; klasik güvenlik yaklaşımının aksine düşünce kuruluşlarının Derinleştirmeci yaklaşım çerçevesinde güvenlik sorununa raporlarında yer verdikleri; kamusal politikaları destekleyici fikirlerin raporda yer aldığı görülmekle birlikte bazı raporlarda özellikle toplumsal alanda yer alan tepkileri de ön plana çıkaran bulgular tespit edilmiştir.
 Sınırlılıklar: Örneklemin sadece “2020 Global Go To Think Tank Index”de Suriyeli göçüne yönelik güvenlik ile ilgili raporları olan dört düşünce kuruluşunun seçilmesi araştırmanın sınırlılıklarıdır.
 Özgünlük/Değer: Göç ve güvenlik özellikle Suriyeli göçü, yoğun olarak çalışılmasına karşın düşünce kuruluşları özelinde Suriyeli göçüne yönelik güvenlik algısı literatürde yer alamamaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışma güvenlik sorunun düşünce kuruluşları özelinde nasıl algılandığını ortaya çıkarması bakından önemlidir.

Comprehensive security, disinformation, and COVID-19: An analysis of the impacts of mis- and disinformation and populist narratives during the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated many fundamental and challenging implications regarding security, for both states and people. This article addresses the pandemic as a security threat, whereby societal and human dimensions of security are intertwined with the narrower (so-called traditional) state dimensions, culminating in comprehensive security. This article uses mixed methods, combining desk research and a selection of narratives or stories from several parts of the world that signify how the intersection of disinformation and populist discourses exacerbated the COVID-19 security challenges. These are analysed through an innovative comprehensive security analytical approach. Drawing on both security theory and policy, the article examines how the COVID-19 pandemic jeopardised security on multiple levels. First, the state's capacity to effectively act and deliver in the domestic sphere waned. Second, the social contract between the state and its citizens eroded as public trust dissipated. This article argues, however, that the most pervasive threat to security during the pandemic pertained to the exploitation of the information domain in relation to the state, society, and people. The article interrogates how mis- and disinformation about the pandemic compounded and exacerbated the security challenges it posed, often relying on existing narratives within right-wing populism movements to increase mistrust and discontent. These largely right-wing populist narratives contributed to broadening the gap between states and people, besides weakening public compliance with state health security measures. The nature of populism and the narratives of particularly right-wing populism contributed to increases in fragmentation, polarisation, and discrimination impacting societal trust. The article concludes with recommendations to mitigate the adverse impacts of mis- and disinformation, including reinvigorating the relationship between state institutions and the people to strengthen comprehensive security.

Eco-Criminological Security as a New Type of National Security

The issues of ensuring national security in general as well as its specific types are now regarded as basic and defining for the life of modern society. In this sense, the provision of a safe natural environment for the person, the society and the state is the solution to the global problem of surviving and preserving life on Earth. The doctrine of national security shapes the modern criminal policy of the state. The processes of changing the world order in the last decade have posed the task of changing the paradigm of criminal policy. The concept of national security is at the stage of formation, the theoretical concept is already developed but the research of specific types of national security started relatively recently. It is especially true regarding the theories emerging through the contact of specific types of security and forming new structurally complex forms of interaction. This article presents the author’s views on the expediency of singling out the eco-criminological security as an independent area of scientific research. The complex emerging through the partial juxtaposition of ecological and criminological security is characterized by internal integrity and its thorough research helps create new knowledge that will make it possible to change the existing strategy and increase the effectiveness of ensuring a safe natural environment. A working definition of eco-criminological security that corresponds to the modern legislative and doctrinal approaches is presented for discussion in the research community. The author proves the need for a holistic research concept of ensuring eco-criminological security that will provide the systematization of the existing doctrinal works within a topical criminological paradigm. The author also presents her own vision of the object and subject of eco-criminological security as a new type of national security. It is suggested that the object of the theory of eco-criminological security should include six basic problems whose solution will provide protection for the most valuable rights and freedoms of the individual, the society and the state in the sphere of nature protection and sustainable use of natural resources. It is believed that the core of the eco-criminological security is the right to a favorable natural environment as a paramount value for the individual, the society and the state within the sphere of protection against criminal threats. The development of the presented research field is possible through a large-scale application of the principles of integrative criminological knowledge.

Od Havla do Pavla: ciągłość i zmiana w relacjach czesko‑tajwańskich w kontekście bezpieczeństwa ontologicznego

FROM HAVEL TO PAVEL: CONTINUITY AND CHANGE IN CZECH-TAIWANESE RELATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF ONTOLOGICAL SECURITY For two decades after the fall of Communism, the Czech Republic’s values-based policy toward Taiwan was decisively shaped by President Václav Havel’s political philosophy. In contrast, after 2012, Taiwan began to be gradually marginalised in Czech foreign policy as proponents of closer cooperation with China came to power. However, the end of the next decade brought another turn in CzechTaiwan relations. This article analyses continuity and change in Czech foreign policy through the lens of ontological security theory, pointing out that Taiwan (as well as China) has become an important element of Czech (inter)national identity after 1989.

“Notice of major cleaning”: A qualitative study of the negative impact of encampment sweeps on the ontological security of unhoused people who use drugs

BackgroundUnhoused people who use drugs in the United States are at risk for a variety of negative health outcomes. As the crisis of houselessness continues to impact major urban areas, a wave of punitive policies has been enacted to remove visible unhoused people from public spaces. There is reason to believe that harsh policies of encampment displacement will have negative immediate and downstream impacts on this community. MethodsParticipant observation was conducted weekly or bi-weekly at unhoused encampments in Los Angeles County, USA over the course of two years (2021, 2022). Data were generated through the lens of ontological security theory via in-field jottings and comprehensive field notes. Formal, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 30 unhoused people who use drugs recruited primarily through peer-referral sampling at these same venues. Data were coded and analyzed thematically using the Template Analysis approach. Field notes were used to triangulate and further contextualize thematic analysis of interview data. ResultsEncampment sweeps impacted nearly all participants and occurred multiple times at every visited field site. They were observed to occur both with and without the presence of police, but always resulted in the loss of the personal property of encampment residents. Sweeps occurred across seasons, hazardous weather, and without offers of alternative shelter. Participants described sweeps as impacting all aspects of their ontological security, including dismantling material and social constancy, disrupting routines of daily life and resource management, increasing feelings of surveillance, and potentially creating negative identity formation. ConclusionsIn both ethnographic observation and participant interviews, encampment sweeps were noted to be physically, psychologically, and socially destructive. Sweeps left participants feeling anger, loss, and hopelessness while further driving the societal marginalization of unhoused people who use drugs. Sweeps should be discontinued as they harm the capacity of unhoused people to improve their well-being.

Prevention of Radicalism and Terrorism in Riau Province to Maintain National Security

Terrorism arises due to radical attitudes that culminate in individuals inspired to commit destructive acts and even kill those who are considered a threat, as a means to commit jihad for him or her. It cannot be denied that the development of terrorist networks in Indonesia has begun to expand to the corners of the region scattered throughout Indonesia. Riau is a region that is also included as one of the targets and hideouts for Indonesian terrorist network perpetrators. This is because Riau is directly adjacent to two countries which have the potential to become an area and target for terrorist operations, as Riau is the entry point for world trade in the region. In the last six years, namely, from 2016 to 2021, there was an act of terrorism in Riau each year, which started with radicalism and then manifested by acts of terror. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach. Data Collection was done through literature studies and direct interviews, which were then analyzed through National Security theory. With the increase in radicalism and acts of terrorism, the Riau government, Riau Police, and TNI namely Korem 031 Wira Bima should have a strategy and synergy to prevent massive radicalism and terrorism in Riau Province, to maintain National Security

Glimpse of safety science development in China: A review of safety fundamental research and construction of six new postgraduate courses for safety majors by safety & security theory innovation and promotion Center of Central South University

After more than half a century of development, the safety discipline has accumulated many theories, methods, models, and principles, but these results are still relatively scattered in various fields, and have not formed a complete subject system. Furthermore, there remain many gaps in the foundations of safety science over the years, and there are few textbooks on safety fundamental theory that are usable by postgraduate students in safety majors. To fill the gaps, this paper introduces a project concerning fundamental safety research and the construction of textbooks and new courses on safety science theories for the postgraduate education of safety majors. These texts and courses were created by the Safety & Security Theory Innovation and Promotion Center of Central South University. The project depended upon a strategy of “innovating safety science theory, publishing a series of papers, writing postgraduate textbooks, setting up postgraduate courses, and popularizing them to universities all over China.” After persisting for over ten years, our research group published more than 200 papers (mostly in Chinese journals) and compiled these papers into 11 monographs or textbooks. These books were Principles of Safety & Security Science, Methodology of Safety Science, Safety Statistics, Safety & Security Informatics, Safety Culturology, and Safety Pedagogy, among others. Then, the corresponding courses were opened and matching teaching materials were built. Accordingly, these courses were popularized in many universities with safety majors in China. The above works have achieved remarkable effects and played an important role in the development of safety science. This review provides a glimpse of safety science development in China. Our experiences are also significant insofar as providing reference value for the basic research on safety science and talent training worldwide.

Evaluation of a Couple- and Family-Based Intervention: Implications for the Fathering Vulnerability Hypothesis

SYNOPSIS Objective. This study evaluated a preventive intervention to reduce destructive interparental conflict, increase constructive communication, and improve emotional security in interparental, parent-child, and family-wide relationships. Emotional Security Theory provided the theoretical bases for this program. The present focus was on an evaluation of the fathering vulnerability hypothesis, which posits that fathers and their family relationships are particularly susceptible to the effects of destructive interparental conflict. Thus, fathers may benefit especially from an intervention to improve marital and family conflict. Design. Two hundred twenty-five families with an adolescent (112 females; 11 to 17 years old, M = 13.23 years; SD = 1.57) participated, randomly assigned to a parent-adolescent condition (PA; n = 75), a parent-only condition (PO; n = 75), or a control condition (n = 75). Dyadic growth curve modeling evaluated the intervention’s effects on changes in the father-child relationship and fathers’ reports of marital quality over the course of a year. Results. Consistent with the fathering vulnerability hypothesis that fathers would benefit more from couple- and family-focused interventions, positive effects of the intervention on marital quality and attachment were identified for fathers but not mothers. Additionally, further tests directly comparing the strength of each condition’s impact on fathers and mothers revealed that the intervention had stronger positive effects on father-adolescent attachment than mother-adolescent attachment. Conclusions. These results provide a broader understanding of the beneficial effects of the present intervention and offer evidence in the context of a randomized-controlled design in support of the fathering vulnerability hypothesis.

Romanian state policy regarding minorities and civil liberties after 1990. Security aspects

With its post-1989 policy on national minorities, Romania is considered by Western capitals a successful model. For more than 30 years, Romania has constantly harmonised its policies regarding the national minorities with the historical factor on the one hand, and with the provisions of the international organisations to which it has become a part on the other, cultivating historical and ethnic values within a well-defined framework, not only from a historical and cultural point of view, but also from a legal perspective. Currently, 20 national minorities are officially recognised in Romania, represented in parliament by 19 organisations. This article aims to highlight the generous legislation regarding national minorities in Romania and to launch a new approach, namely the security approach. The theoretical framework proposed for this article consists of two fundamental theories designed to support the placement of the field of national minorities in Romania within a security framework: the five dimensions of security theory, as presented in the seminal works of the Copenhagen school of thought, in particular in Barry Buzan's Peoples, states and fear (1991) and in Security. A new framework for analysis by Barry Buzan, Ole Waever and Jaap de Wilde (1998) and the theory of the triadic national minority-host state-motherland relationship by professor Rogers Brubaker (1996).

Regional immunity complexes: A plurospherical and autoimmunological reimagining of regional security

This article proposes a categorical reframing of regional security theory that builds on and extends the recent theoretical turn towards immunology. Specifically, the article argues that the systems of regional security should be recast as systems of regional immunity in order to draw attention not only to the spatial complexities of post-national and increasingly deterritorialised regionalism, fuelled by the spatial modalities of late modernity, but also to the autoimmunitary processes that are at work in all protective and resilience-building systems, biological and political alike. The discussion departs from Peter Sloterdijk's immunological theory of spheres in order to delineate the broad outlines of what the article terms Regional Immunity Complexes (RIC's). Through this reading, structures of regional security take on the form of a plurosphere of atmospherically differentiated and immunised lifeworlds that rhizomatically unfold through the connected isolations of Sloterdijk's foams. Through the exploration of specific examples, the article shows how the dynamics of regional plurospheres affect the processes of regional security and resilience and how these then engender the very counter-processes of autoimmunological erasure.

Bezpečnosť - Riziká a ich vplyv na plnenie úloh ozbrojených síl Slovenskej republiky

The ambition of this scientific study is to highlight some of the current security risk issues. The author relies on the results of his own research within the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic. The choice of analytical levels of interconnection of security theory, risk management and other knowledge from the military environment led to mutual interaction and synergy. The aim of this analysis is to describe the possibilities of implementing risk management into the processes of the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic. For practical purposes, basic steps for implementation of current knowledge in the field and classical approaches for elimination of security risks. In this way, an overview and comparison with the latest approaches that introduce the given knowledge and skills into the training of new professionals is provided. The research also includes an assessment of the current state of the use of risk management in practice and the subsequent publication of recommendations for management and military practice.

Building Cyber Resilience: Key Factors for Enhancing Organizational Cyber Security

The increasingly pervasive influence of technology on a global scale, coupled with the accelerating pace of organizations operating in cyberspace, has intensified the need for adequate protection against the risks posed by cyber threats. This paper aims to identify cyber resilience management attributes that can enable organizations to sustain and continually adapt in the face of evolving cyber risks and threats. The researcher explores the intersections between cybersecurity and resilience by reviewing existing frameworks, models, studies, and surveys. This study establishes the attributes of resilience with the integration of resilience theory and security theory, along with their position in the cyber domains. By proposing a converged model with fundamental factors for attaining cyber resilience, this study offers a novel contribution to cyber security management.

APPLICATION OF A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF ENTERPRISES IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF UKRAINE

Implementing measures to increase the economic security of strategically essential branches of the national economy is necessary to support the stability of regions and the national economy. Management at all levels should contribute to preventing the occurrence of critical externalities in the macroeconomic environment that can lead to negative consequences in the context of ensuring the country's socio-economic development. The fundamental nature of achieving a high level of long-term economic security is identifying key determinants capable of identifying and eliminating potential threats. It is essential to emphasize the need to support the country's food security and the conceptual provisions that must be reviewed concerning global processes such as food embargo, geopolitical confrontation, etc. Modern agriculture is in a difficult situation, and the economic condition of the entire agro-industrial complex requires the search for solutions to the problems of permanent development of each enterprise, considering the development of long-term economic security. Searching for ways to form more favorable ways of functioning is a strategic direction of economic policy at all levels of management. It requires several global measures to support agribusiness enterprises' current, medium-term, and long-term efficiency. Economic security of the agricultural sector as an economic category has a complex multi-level system structure: food; ecological safety; biological (resource); financial and credit; social; inventory management; social indicators; insurance provision; state regulation; agricultural cooperation; monitoring; agricultural information; agriculture and animal husbandry; cars; population employment; trade; wholesale food markets; scientific support. The system of full-fledged economic security of enterprises of the agrarian sector involves the development of its effective organizational and functional structure, which may include the scientific theory of economic security of the agrarian sector, the concept of food security, food policy, state, and public institutions that ensure economic security, organizational and economic mechanism, indicators and indicators of economic security, monitoring of the actual state of economic security of the agrarian sector.
