This article seeks to introduce the Copenhagen's School contribution to the area of international security studies. It does so by discussing briefly the metatheoretical debate of the area, as well the historical context in which the School was founded. It will also be necessary to analyse the main concepts and theoretical perspectives developed by the School. Thereafter, the article shall present the criticism made to the School's contribution. At last, it may become clear that the School's contribution has gone beyond the area of security studies since it has also contributed to the area of theory of international relations.
