Analysis and Interpretation of Security Perception: Themes and Models

Abstract

Security is a contested concept which has variation in its meaning. The
application of the concept is difficult to be made. It varies from state to
state. Some perceive it in terms of defense policy and other considered
as a part of national policy. The variation in thematical explanation of
the concept has attracted many foreign policy analysts and scholars to
shed light on it. The contribution of the scholars in this regard does not
only provide the basis for state to identify the security threats but also
to formulate policies accordingly. The paper is an addition to the
existing literature which focuses on the themes and models of security
perception and its interpretation. Furthermore, it also highlights the
varying aspects of the concept.
