Abstract
WITH THE ADVENT OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, OUR PERCEPTION OF NATURE HAS CHANGED. OUR RELATIONSHI P WITH NATURE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE OR LESS SUBCONSCIOUS AND USUALLY ORIENTED TOWARDS NEW POSSIBILITIES OF USING OUR ENVIRONMENT. THE SECOND WORLD WAR CHANGED MANY THINGS, AND OUR PERCEPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT WAS ONE OF THEM. WE PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THE PROTECTION INITIATIVES DURING THIS RECENT PERIOD, AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS ARE BECOMING A REALITY FOR THE CONTEMPORARY SECURITY STUDIES. THE THREATS TO THE ENVIRONMENT ARE CONSTANTLY INCREASING THE ATTENTION / AWARENESS, NOT ONLY IN THE FIELD OF SECURIT Y STUDIES, BUT ALSO IN THE FIELD OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS. IF, BY THE END OF THE 1990S, THE STATES FACED VARIOUS THREATS FROM BOTH THE MILITARY AND THE POLITICAL SECTOR, IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT IT IS POSSIBLE TO OBSERVE THE SHIFT OF THE EMPHASIS TOWARDS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL A ND OF THE PROBLEMS HE IS FACING. THESE CHANGES ARE BASED ON THE TRANSITION FROM A BIPOLAR TO A MULTIPOLAR INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM. THIS MOMENT IS REALLY THE EXTENSION OF THE CONCEPT OF SECURITY WHEN NEW SECTORS ARE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION, OTHER THAN THE TRADITIONAL ONES, NAMELY THE ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC AND NOT LEAST THE SOCIETAL ONE.
