Abstract: The direction and structure of systems for higher education disciplines are determined by national strategic needs. In the early period of New China, security issues were prioritized in national strategy, shaping an industry and defenseoriented discipline system tailored to the “war and revolution” era and characterized by a strong focus on preparedness for conflict. Following the reform and openingup, economic development took precedence in national strategy, leading to the expansion of disciplines such as economics, management, foreign languages, computer science, and derivative technologies to meet the demands of an exportoriented economy. A discipline system oriented towards “opening up, development, and stability” gradually took shape. In the new era, as China transitions from a large nation to a strong one, the national strategy has shifted to “coordinating development and security”. The discipline system must now not only cater to the demand for talents driven by the “new four modernizations”, the latest technological revolution, and industrial transformation, but also serve national security strategy. Efforts must be made in higher education to address security threats and risks in an era of majorpower competition, achieving selfreliance and strength in technological innovation, talent cultivation, and discourse systems. Guided by the strategic needs for coordinating development and security, the latest adjustments to the discipline system emphasize the strategic direction for scientific and technological structural reform, highlight the construction of “four new disciplines”, strengthen interdisciplinary, emerging, and foundational disciplines, and build an independent knowledge system for Chinese modernization. Disciplines centered on “comprehensive security”, with national security studies at their core, are witnessing new development opportunities. As a topdown established discipline, national security studies, guided by the holistic approach to national security, initially form a “threeinone” systematic framework. Its further highquality development requires clear leadership responsibilities, strong institutional coordination and support, and robust internal and external institutional mechanisms, which are essential for establishing a mature intellectual tradition and an academic community dedicated to national security studies.
