National security concerns often heavily influence domestic policies, prompting governments to prioritize issues such as border security, surveillance, and counter-terrorism measures. These concerns can lead to policies that might restrict civil liberties in the name of public safety. Additionally, the framing of national security can impact areas such as immigration, law enforcement, and even economic policies by emphasizing threats both internal and external. The challenge lies in balancing individual rights with collective security, prompting intense debate about the implications of security-focused governance on democracy and social justice.
