YENİ KÜRESEL TEHDİTLER VE YENİ PARADİGMA

Due attention must be given to the urgent need for security and def ense concepts and responses that are radically new, which stretch beyond the conventional military strategic vision. The new security context is very complex and multidimensional. The majör security problems in the troubled regions (including the Balkans, Caucasus, Middle East and Asia) have their roots in economic, social, cultural and political factors and that it makes mor e sense to conduct multi-disciplinary studies and focus on the sof t security issues (such as demographic trends, the ejfect of globalization on the psychology of disadvantaged groups across the world, the perception of the West and US in the Middle East and Asia) and socio-psychological processes that feed ali types of conflict. Developing a new paradigm to study the security issues is essential to surmount new security threats. İt requires the integration of sociological, anthropological and socio-psychological studies in the study of terrorisın, extremism and armed conflict.
