After the Cold War, this relationship manifested itself in two distinct dimensions: the influence of identity in interstate relations and the understanding of societal security focused on protecting societal identity. However, public diplomacy and soft power policies emerging in state practices have added a new dimension to the security-identity interaction. This study examines the relationship between security and identity at both the societal and state levels within the framework of the Copenhagen School and Constructivism. The aim is to understand the interplay of security and identity by seeking answers to the questions, "How can identity be secured, securitized, and used as a security tool?". The study aims to contribute to the literature by revealing the interaction between security and identity at different levels and dimensions.}, number={3}, publisher={Bandırma Onyedi Eylül Üniversitesi}
