Interpretation of security in relation to the corona-virus epidemic

Abstract

In this article, we would like to draw the attention for the importance of the comprehensive approach of security. The ongoing coronavirus epidemic has already proven that there is an equal need for the military and the non-military security sectors for coping with a complex crisis. From a national point of view, we consider inevitable the elaboration of a National Civil Security Strategy and its inclusion into the system of the national security strategies. We also suggest systematic and forward-looking planning of the civilian capabilities (critical infrastructure) in close coordination with the military capabilities. Finally, we propose a structural framework for the coordinated strategic planning.
