Aim21st century has been a period when states came to the fore with their security policies. Prolonged state of emergency processes, enacted state of emergency provisions, and security legislation containing very harsh measures are the legal manifestations of these policies. This situation shows that the wisdom of security has replaced the wisdom of government for the state in the 21st century. However, a comprehensive legal analysis of this state has not yet been made. As a matter of fact, the 21st century. Security practice shows that the liberal rule of law is not liberal in the ideal sense. However, this state politically and legally dates back to the 16th century. It is also different from the security state. In this context, the aim of the course is to present the legal analysis of the security state, based on the change in the understanding of security in the historical process.
