THE NATIONAL SECURITY SYSTEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA AS PART OF THE EUROPEAN UNION SECURITY
Summary:
The topic of security is becoming more and more relevant. The challenges of the environment and the dynamics of social processes place new demands on policies and the responsible bodies involved in their implementation.
The national security system is perceived as a permanent organization, functioning in order to protect and preserve the material goods created by society and people's lives. The activity unites the efforts of so many people and resources at the same time, like no other. This paper presents some security interpretations that need to be taken into account in the preparation and implementation of security policies, both at national and European level. A content analysis of the regulatory and strategic framework in Bulgaria in the context of European security policy has been made. A critical analysis of the existing theories with regard to the national security system has also been conducted and the national interests and strategic goals have been outlined, based on which the challenges, risks and threats to national security have been identified.
