Since the initial stages of 1980s, the global world faced the huge shift. Many security scholars try to challenge and review the mainstream security studies that derived from a combination of Anglo-American, statist, militarized, masculinized, methodologically positivist, and philosophically realist thinking. ¡§The Welsh School¡¨ of Critical Security Studies is one of the most important approach. The Welsh School thinks about security as developing in the light of the Frankfurt School, and brings the tradition of ¡§critical¡¨, ¡§epistemology position¡¨, and ¡§emancipation¡¨ to the security studies. The Welsh School separate the core of critical security studies(CSS) into three concepts: security, emancipation, and community, therefore, this study try to explain and review these concepts. Firstly, CSS tried to ¡§deepen¡¨ the concepts of ¡§security¡¨, deconstruct statism and bring the referent to individual, and then ¡§broaden¡¨ the agenda of security to discuss the traditional and non-traditional issues in the globalization world. Secondly, CSS emphasize the relationship of theory and practice, and expect to achieve their goal-¡§emancipatory politics¡¨. Via the construction of emancipatory community, people could released from contingent and structural oppressions, and create a free and equal environment. Despite the states still the major referent in international institution and security environment, and the main concept of The Welsh School still not practice in contemporary politics, but the first task of CSS is to bring a revision of the world, and then create a comprehensive and humanity security thinking.

It is through these discussions about a critical approach of the security guard that there stands out the Welsh School of Critical Studies of Security and his principal authors, Ken Booth and Richard Wyn Jones. The project of studies of security of these authors will be going to re-define the security like equivalent to the emancipation of the individual of the structural cables what are prevented them from affirming freely inside his communities, retaking for that the concepts of emancipation, technology and enlightenment debated in the School of Frankfurt. Besides proposing a reconceptualização to the concept of security, Booth and Wyn Jones will be going to retake the strategic studies showing like these they influenced the intellectual rigidity of the discipline / Os Estudos Críticos de Segurança surgiram como contraponto ao arcabouço conceitual dos estudos tradicionais de segurança, com o intuito de propor uma nova ontologia e epistemologia da segurança e apontando para a necessidade de se redefinir o objeto da segurança, bem como fomentar uma maior reflexão acerca de como as ameaças e a respostas a essas são criadas. É por meio dessas discussões acerca de uma abordagem crítica da segurança que se destaca a Escola Galesa de Estudos Críticos de Segurança e seus principais autores, Ken Booth e Richard Wyn Jones. O projeto de estudos de segurança desses autores irá redefinir a segurança como equivalente à emancipação do indivíduo das amarras estruturais que os impedem de se afirmarem livremente dentro de suas comunidades, retomando para isso os conceitos de emancipação, tecnologia e iluminismo debatidos na Escola de Frankfurt. Booth e Wyn Jones além de proporem uma reconceptualização ao conceito de segurança, irão retomar os estudos estratégicos mostrando como estes influenciaram na rigidez intelectual da disciplina
