Abstract Subject-Based security is a new idea and it is the first time, this theory is used in security literature. This idea refers to the transition to the cultural paradigm of security. It is a paradigm that emerges from super-processes such as the “introduction of the concept of subject politics”, “the beginning of the late modernity period”, “rethinking as the central conflict of new societies” and “the individualization of the collective experience”. Based on this transition, the notion of "subject-based security" formulates a different representation of the "security issue" below which the focus of the security issue shifts from the level of macro-social and political structures to the level of individual and collective subjectivity. The process of "securityization" has been reversed and the starting point of security analysis is the increase of institutional capacities in order to prepare for the realization of the existence of the human subject and the expansion of individual and collective subjectivity.
