Of the many challenges that society faces today, possibly none is
more acute than the security of ordinary citizens when faced with a
variety of natural or man-made disasters arising from climate and
geological catastrophes, including the depletion of natural
resources, environmental degradation, food shortages, terrorism,
breaches of personal security and human security, or even the
global economic crisis. States continue to be faced with a range of
security issues arising from contested territorial spaces, military
and maritime security and security threats relating to energy,
infrastructure and the delivery of essential services. The theme of
the book encompasses issues of human, political, military,
socio-economic, environmental and energy security and raises two
main questions. To what extent can international law address the
types of natural and man-made security risks and challenges that
threaten our livelihood, or very existence, in the twenty-first
century? Where does international law fall short in meeting the
problems that arise in different situations of insecurity and how
should such shortcomings be addressed?
