This paper examines how the concept of societal security and resilience shapes the emerging geopoliticization of critical infrastructure (CI). It analyzes CI across socio-political, socio-economic, and socio-technical dimensions to understand how modern risks—such as hybrid threats, cyber aggression, climate impacts, and supply-chain disruptions—transform infrastructure into a strategic geopolitical asset. The study highlights the increasing vulnerability arising from global interdependence, the use of CI as geopolitical leverage, and the implications for national and regional stability, with emphasis on the Western Balkans. The paper also considers how infrastructure sovereignty interacts with societal resilience in the contemporary security environment.
