The process of re-evaluating the extent of military threats in the context of ensuring international security was determined by the end of the Cold War. In this context, the perception of security was attributed to the general assessment of the possible security threats and risks. Based on this fact, the security of the person, of the human individual, was conceived as a fundamental element of the security system construction, including the subsystem of the national security assurance. Therefore, the security phenomenon has been reinvented, reevaluated and realized in the context of new realities, so that the importance of state security has diminished, being replaced by the concerns about new risks, dangers and threats related to climate change, social processes, degradation of ecology and environment, etc. As a result, an increase of in the importance of the non-military security dimensions has been generated. Human security, as a new constructivist conception in security studies, has led to the emergence of new perspectives on security as a global social phenomenon, being a conception produced by the critical approach to neorealism. Human security involves ensuring the protection of individuals taken individually, but also as a social whole. This is possible by ensuring the living conditions and fundamental needs of the human person. Individual safety is based on strategic benchmarks that highlight the purpose of educating, training and developing the fundamental qualities and virtues of the person, in order to prepare him to face the risks and threats related to security. Namely, these benchmarks are the basis for strengthening the mechanisms for ensuring human security at the beginning of the XXI century. The article analyzes the process of ensuring human security in the conditions of globalization, highlighting the ways to achieve global changes in security, the investigations being directed mainly to highlight the current processes of reconfiguring positions and resizing democratization in the context of improving mechanisms that ensure the security of the human person and of humanity as a whole.
