In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, shifting geopolitical landscapes, and unprecedented global challenges, national security concerns are no longer limited to traditional military threats. Today’s security environment demands a broader understanding of the multifaceted risks posed by both state and non-state actors, as well as by emerging domains such as cyber warfare, environmental degradation, and global health crises.
This issue, dedicated to new threats to national security, aims to bring together innovative research that critically examines the emerging dimensions of national security and offers fresh insights into policy implications. Contributors are encouraged to address how governments, international organizations, and civil society can respond to these evolving threats. The issue seeks to explore not only the direct challenges posed to state stability, governance, and sovereignty but also the indirect factors—such as corruption, organized crime, and disinformation—that can erode national resilience. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, there is a pressing need for interdisciplinary perspectives that merge insights from law, international relations, technology, environmental science, and public health. By fostering a dialogue on these pressing issues, this special edition of Jus and Justicia hopes to contribute to the development of comprehensive strategies that safeguard national security in an increasingly volatile global landscape.
– Organized Crime and National Security; the impact of transnational criminal organizations on state stability and governance; the intersection between organized crime and terrorism; illicit trafficking (e.g., drugs, weapons, humans) and its implications for national and regional security.
– Corruption as a Security Threat; The role of corruption in undermining national security and state resilience; anti-corruption measures and their effectiveness in different contexts; Corruption’s impact on the functioning of security institutions.
– Disruptive Technologies and Cybersecurity; the role of artificial intelligence, robotics, and other emerging technologies in shaping security dynamics; cyberattacks and the vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure; digital surveillance and data protection: balancing security and civil liberties.
– Climate Change and Environmental Security; the impact of climate change on conflict, migration, and resource scarcity; national security implications of natural disasters and extreme weather events; the role of environmental policies in mitigating security risks.
– Hybrid Warfare and Information Operations; the use of disinformation, propaganda, and fake news in state and non-state conflicts; the role of social media in amplifying security threats; strategies to counter hybrid warfare tactics.
– Geopolitical Shifts and Regional Security Dynamics; The rise of new power blocs and their implications for global security; regional conflicts and their transnational impacts; national security strategies in response to shifting alliances and rivalries.
