Event Overview
The concept of national security dates to the 17th century and the Peace of Westphalia when sovereign nation-states were established. In the modern era, national security broadly seeks to ensure the security and defense of a country, most recently expanding to encompass many unforeseen challenges including threats from non-state actors, cyber warfare, economic instruments of statecraft, and environmental degradation.
Ongoing geopolitical tensions and conflicts in various regions continue to shape security policies, prompting a delicate balance between diplomacy and defense strategies.
