Insecurity Dilemma - National Security of Third World States (Hardcover, New ed.)

With the end of the Cold War, the world is seen by many as an
increasingly safe and secure place. In the Third World, however,
people continue to be at risk, often from their own state
authorities; these regimes in turn, beset with challenges to
militarization and repression. What exists is not a ""security
dilemma"" in the traditional sense, but instead ""insecurity
dilemmas"", in which national security, defined as regime security
by state authorities, becomes pitted against the incompatible
demands of ethnic, social, and religious forces. This book
addresses the problems and prospects for security in the Third
World in the 1990s. The authors advance four lines of argument:
first, there is a need to rethink the traditional realist notions
of states, national security, territorial threat, and war. Second,
the security dilemmas of Third World regimes are bound up in the
process of statebuilding and in the practical implications of
political development. Third, the repressive underlying logic
associated with the regime holders' interest in their short-term
survival prospects. And finally, radically altered relationships
and conditions in the international system mean that the security
interests of Third World regimes and peoples will be viewed
differently in the futue by both super-powers and middle powers;
and the consequence may well be that traditional regional powers
will attempt to (re)assert their security priorities and claims to
dominance.
