Abstract

The links between education, development and security have not been sufficiently researched or conceptualized, although their correlation is undeniable. The fact is that states devastated by constant political tensions and armed conflicts cannot provide quality public services, including education, and therefore social and economic development, as a prerequisite for political and military power. Developed Western countries are characterized by political stability, democracy, economic development and peace. The subject of the paper is the analysis of reports that assess states according to the factors of political stability, democracy, quality of life and quality of education. The Scandinavian countries were singled out through the application of quantitative and qualitative methodologies. These countries are also known as welfare states, which foster the policy of the so-called Nordic peace. The aim of the paper is to explain the correlation between education, economic development and security and their mutual influence.
