The master’s thesis titled Security Aspects of the Integration Process in a Multicultural Society: The Case of Slovenia examines how integration policies affect various dimensions of security, including national, social, legal, political, economic, and human security. Grounded in the theoretical concepts of the security dilemma and integration, it analyses the relationship between migrant inclusion, social cohesion, and perceptions of security within the Slovenian context. The analysis focuses on legal, political, economic, and social factors of integration, with particular attention to institutional and everyday obstacles that impact the position of foreigners in society. Slovenia serves as a case study reflecting broader Central European trends in addressing migration and multiculturalism. The thesis highlights the role of stereotypes, prejudices, and security discourse in shaping public policies and their influence on the daily lives of migrants. It warns against the risks of one-dimensional, security-driven approaches and emphasizes the need for balanced policies that consider both humanitarian and security aspects of integration. Through a comprehensive examination of theoretical and empirical elements, the thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of integration as a multidimensional process—one that goes beyond administrative-security frameworks and requires the inclusion of broader social and cultural perspectives.
