Abstract

The notion of security is a complex and ambiguous phenomenon, which goes beyond the traditional notions of security, where the only reference object is the state, and state security is a condition for survival. In the globalized concept of security, state borders are becoming porous, the free flow of capital, goods and people has been achieved, and also new security challenges, risks and threats, which exceeds the traditional understanding of security, wherefore it boils down not only to economic, legal, environmental and social segments of life, but also to social groups and individuals. The issue around which the paper focuses starts from what makes a country stable and secure, what those factors are and how they are measured. The sectoral approach of the Copenhagen School of Security will be used as a conceptual framework. The subject of the paper is the analysis of indicators used in the official reports of relevant international institutions, which show the stability of countries in the globalized concept of security. The aim of this paper is to analyze the various indicators of state stability in order to achieve the most important characteristics that build human, national and state security, and includes non-military factors of development and stability. This analysis shows that governance, economy and security are mutually reinforced, especially through a set of policies implemented by the government.
