Military Science and Educational Institutions

The concept of military science represents the interaction of the system of military disciplines, civilian and military educational institutions and their researchers, whose work is focused on the most important societal value - security. In the context of interpretations by various authors, dictionaries and encyclopedias, the article critically examines the conceptualisation of military science, which has not received much attention in the Slovenian literature. In addition to conceptual challenges, the paper also answers the question of what military science is and how it should be understood in the context of contemporary interdisciplinary approaches and efforts of educational and other institutions that analytically grapple with a wide variety of insights, objects or topics related to the military as a phenomenon, practice or idea.
