Abstract

The term National Security Strategy (NSS) is viewed as ability of a nation to order its internal life without external interference. Thus NSS can be defined as
“The nation’s evolving plan for the coordinated use of all the instruments of
national power to defend and advance national interests”. This would encompass
development and application of national power potential both non-military as
well as military in nature. Thus National Security Strategy is formulated in the
context of prevailing situation based on the input provided by official, political
and intellectual forums. Power potential of a country has numerous dimensions
like economic, Political, diplomatic, military and social. These elements of national
power play the most important role in formulating security strategy of a country.
The developing countries are often facing difficulty to maintain domestic stability
to prevent. At the same time absolute security against all the threats may not be
attainable. Therefore, policy must determine the level and areas of insecurity,
which would be acceptable. Thus in depth understanding of concept of NSS
is essential. This paper is an endeavor to put in a capsule, for understanding the
Concept and paradigm of NSS for the Policy Planning Process and Formulation
Methodology. The paper also highlight the what security strategy may be adopted
by weak & developing nation and suggested an outline for Bangladesh. The core
purpose of this paper is to keep it concise yet providing sufficient and relevant
academic input to the policy maker for implementing appropriate strategy. It is
expected that regular study on the very subject “National Security Strategy” would
open new vistas of strategic thinking and debating security issues in the context
of Present Regional and Global Security Issues. As such the concept suggested
in the paper is by no means a binding one. It must be taken as a guideline and
modified as per level of understanding in future.
