The aim of this book is to analyse why and how states respond to
human security, both at home and abroad. Although states still
define security as "the defense of territory" from military attack,
increasingly security pertains to the protection of human beings
from violence. This violence can emerge from rebels, drug
traffickers, terrorism, and even environmental and demographic
changes. While previous literature in this field has provided rich
empirical detail about human security crises, it is generally quiet
about how states respond to these crises. State Responses to Human
Security fills this lacuna by bringing in concepts from
international security studies and focusing on states' perceptions
of power and the changing nature of human security. Instead of
debating whether or not human security exists, the authors in this
volume agree that human security has been redefined to include
policies associated with violence toward individuals and groups,
and draw on recent events in the Middle East, China and Mexico to
understand how and when human security issues prompt state
responses and affect international relations. The case studies
analysed in this book suggest that states respond to human security
threats differently, but in both the domestic context and abroad,
power and perceptions matter greatly in shaping states' reactions
to human security concerns. This book will be of much interest to
students of human security, foreign policy, international relations
and security studies in general.
