Description

Human Security explores a pressing global issue: the persistent security gap in regions plagued by violence and conflict. Millions live daily with fear of violence, while conventional approaches to security often exacerbate this insecurity.

This book proposes a new approach to security based on a global conversation among civil society groups, individuals, states, and international institutions. It builds upon Mary Kaldor's path-breaking analysis of the character of new wars in regions like the Balkans and Africa during the 1990s.

Through its chapters, Human Security examines the evolution of the idea of global civil society, just war theory in a global era, and the concept of human security. This book will appeal to those interested in issues of peace and conflict, particularly students of politics and international relations.
