This study proposes a model for developing military strategy to
achieve political objectives framed in state and/or human security
principles. The author first identifies the need for analysis of
state and human security due to the increasingly diverse nature of
military operations since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The
author then categorizes state security political objectives as
issues of state sovereignty and vital national interests while
human security objectives derive from individual issues of life,
liberty, and freedom of person. The author concludes that the
binary nature of these security paradigms will affect development
of military strategy. Next, the author presents a methodology for
assessing the impact of state and human security on strategy. Three
case studies examine the impact of the security paradigms on
military strategy. By coupling the theoretical development of a
strategy model with the methodological examination of the case
studies, the author finds a positive linkage between state and
human security objectives and the development of military strategy.
The findings suggest military strategy for state security utilizes
a prescriptive use of offensive force at a national level of
engagement for a vital purpose. Conversely, a military strategy
driven by human security objectives produces a defensive force
structure and restrictive rules of engagement for a peripheral
purpose at the sub-national level of engagement. Political
objectives framed in both state and human security require military
strategists to understand the interrelationship between the
security paradigms in order to develop an appropriate military
strategy.
