Human security refers in its broadest sense to the protection of
individuals from harm. Human Security: Theory and Action explores
the theory and application of concepts central to this notion of
security. It examines the conceptual roots of human security,
connecting its origins to its applications and challenges in war
and peacetime. With a unique focus on the evolving notion of
responsibility for security, the text introduces the critical
questions and priorities that underpin policies and actions. The
text is organized around four sections. The introduction offers an
overview of human security and its basic tenets and historical
foundations. The second section focuses on human security in armed
conflict and post-conflict reconstruction, discussing such issues
as the doctrine of Responsibility to Protect (R2P), peacekeeping
and peace negotiation processes, and humanitarian assistance. The
third section identifies the long-term issues that are necessary
for a durable human security, including human rights, food
security, poverty, gender equality, health security, and
environmental sustainability. The final section applies the
concepts introduced in the book to twenty-first century concerns
and offers insights on turning theory into action. Integrated into
the text are many case studies to broaden the student's awareness
beyond the conflicts and issues that dominate the media. By
balancing theoretical explanations with concrete illustrative
cases, both historical and contemporary, the text provides
intellectually challenging and intrinsically interesting material
and offers a unique, comprehensive introduction human security in
war and peace.
