    Uploaded by

    The document traces the evolution of security from ancient Greek city-states to modern times. It discusses security being both institutional and strategic given today's complex environment. A distinction is made between a threat, which is a circumstance or agent that endangers security, versus a risk, which is the probability of a threat arising. The document also examines security shifts in the 1990s toward internal security and how the 9/11 terrorist attacks changed approaches to security, resulting in stricter airport security, the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, and increased surveillance and security measures outside of airports.
