What is traditional security? What is non-traditional security?

Traditional security mainly refers to military, political and diplomatic security, so it includes political security, homeland security and military security. Non-traditional security refers to economic security, cultural security, social security, scientific and technological security, information security, ecological security, resource security and nuclear security.

Non-traditional security is not only an important part of national security, but also closely related to our lives with the development of the times. For example, the Internet has become a part of our daily life, even indispensable. In such a virtual space, we express our views, browse information and conduct transactions, and our food, clothing, housing and transportation all leave traces on the Internet.

The busy production and life scenes depicted by big data are not only a summary of our personal information, but also an accurate photo of the country's development, which has important strategic significance. The network promotes the accelerated flow of information, and at the same time provides a rapid dissemination channel for illegal information that endangers national security. The important position of national ideology is also deeply influenced by network activities, and network security cannot be ignored.

Traditional security significance

Traditional security is the theme of international relations (in fact, it is better translated as "inter-state relations", especially the relations between countries within the nation-state system), which generally refers to the conflicts between countries related to military behavior. The concept of security is the core concept in the theory of international relations.

War and the security problems caused by war have always occupied an important position in international relations, and the concept of power and security centered on the country is the main content of international relations.

In the structure of international relations, each country independently exercises sovereignty, but it should not have authority over other countries. Countries cannot act rashly, and their actions will be restricted by external forces (mainly those of other countries). Countries rely on internal forces to safeguard their own security.
