Security economics is a relatively new part of the discipline of economics and at the same time a fast growing field. There is no agreement on the concept of security economics yet. Quite many definitions have been produced, but none of them is generally accepted. The very concept of security economics is contested. This paper is divided into four parts. The first part introduces the reader to terms: security, human security, what leads to better comprehension of economic security. The second part provides general information of defense economy during peacetime and wartime, expenditures during these times and, through literature review, familiarizes the reader with defense economic during peace and wartime. The third chapter describes the normative problem of defense economics. The fourth and the last part reveal economic security in the era of globalization when the conventional warfare risks are diminished, but the risks of terrorism and local conflicts become more important.
