Considerations about the Conceptualization of National Security in the European Union

The intrinsic links between national security and other types of security also results from the fact that the threats and challenges of the 21^st century no longer address the national segment, but also the entire international community, which causes the occurence of security structures at all levels to manage the crises that arise at some point internationally. It is known that in terms of security, states usually adopt a mutual security and defense policy, using human, material, financial and information resources available to everyone in a collective manner. If NATO is a good and eloquent example in this sense, a viable solution against risks and security threats from a regional perspective appeared in the European Union, which has its own policy for security and defense able to integrate national security politicy the of Member States in that of the Union.
