The definition most commonly used by scholars is that of Barry Buzan who in his book People, States, and Fear states that: "Security, in every objective sense, measures the absence of threat to acquired values, in the wiki sense, the absence of fear that such values ​​will be attacked" (Buzan, 1991:4).
