This issue brings together a diverse set of contributions that address contemporary security challenges through interdisciplinary, methodologically grounded approaches. The published articles reflect both theoretical advancements and applied analyses, contributing to a deeper understanding of modern security dynamics.
The issue includes the following key thematic contributions:
The opening articles focus on the conceptual development of Security Science, addressing definitional frameworks, methodological boundaries, and its positioning as a primary discipline in relation to international security and related fields. These contributions continue the ongoing effort to establish a unified scientific foundation for the study of security.
A second group of papers examines hybrid threats and irregular forms of conflict, including the role of information operations, cyber dimensions, and the evolving nature of warfare below the threshold of open conflict. These analyses provide insight into how state and non-state actors adapt strategies in increasingly complex operational environments.
Several contributions focus on terrorism and counterterrorism, offering both regional and global perspectives. The authors explore patterns of radicalization, operational structures of extremist groups, and the challenges faced by security institutions in preventing and responding to asymmetric threats.
The issue also includes articles addressing geopolitical transformations, with particular emphasis on great power competition, regional instability, and the strategic implications of ongoing global crises. These works highlight the interconnected nature of security developments and their impact on national and international systems.
In addition, several papers examine intelligence studies and decision-making, analyzing how intelligence shapes strategic outcomes, prevents conflict escalation, and supports state resilience.
Finally, selected contributions examine emerging domains such as security psychology, societal resilience, and the impact of technological change on security structures, further expanding the scope of Security Science.
This issue once again confirms the Security Science Journal’s growing international relevance, as it continues to attract distinguished scholars and practitioners from around the world.
The Editorial Board expresses its gratitude to all authors, reviewers, and partners for their contributions to maintaining high academic standards and advancing the field.
