Keywords:
integrated risk management, higher education institutions, education, multidisciplinarity, security culture, security and lawAbstract
Modern security and legal systems face complex, interconnected, and difficult-to-predict risks, calling into question the effectiveness of traditional, sector-specific approaches to their management. Integrated risk management is developing in response to this complexity, starting from the assumption that risks must be viewed systemically, taking into account their social, legal, and security dimensions. In this context, education, and in particular higher education institutions, play a key role in developing the knowledge, competencies, and security culture necessary for implementing an integrated approach. The paper analyzes the role of higher education institutions in the development of multidisciplinary, integrated risk management, drawing on theoretical approaches to risk and modern security studies. Special attention is paid to education as a security resource, to the role of higher education institutions in the formation of professional identities and the development of a security culture, and to the importance of multidisciplinarity in understanding and managing modern risks. The paper is based on an analysis of relevant domestic and international scientific literature in the fields of security, law, education, and risk management. It concludes that integrated risk management is not sustainable without a strong educational foundation and that higher education institutions are key actors in building institutional and social resilience.
