What is traditional security and what is non-traditional security?

Traditional security and non-traditional security are concepts used to describe different types of security issues in the field of international relations.

1. Traditional security: refers to the fields related to wars, military forces and conflicts between countries. Including political, military, economic and social threats or challenges to state entities and their rights and interests. For example, armed conflicts, terrorist activities and border disputes all belong to the traditional security category.

2. Non-traditional security: Non-traditional security is relatively new and has only been widely discussed in recent decades. It covers a series of fields directly related to human welfare and survival, but it is not limited to armed attacks or threats caused by direct use of violent means. Non-traditional emphasis on crossing national boundaries requires the cooperation of multiple participants to meet the same challenges.
