Abstract. The process of globalization, accelerated by the end of the Cold War, has led to some changes in the traditional understanding of security. The process of globalization has made countries economically dependent, which has revealed that security is not limited to military issues. From this point of view, it becomes clear that states should also give importance to economic security in order to ensure their ontological security. In this regard, the current study aims to reveal the relationship between economic security and national security. According to the accepted conclusion, economic security is directly related to national security. This connection is not limited to the national level. The individual dimension of economic security is also related to national security. In this study, the issue of economic security was considered theoretically.
