This book examines how national security strategies relate to an
emerging common European or global vision of security, and to human
security ideas. Human security and national security are often
regarded as competing and mutually antagonistic; the former was
proposed and has been operationalised in ways which represent a
paradigm shift away from state-centric approaches and the dominance
of national-security perspectives. This has led to human security
being associated with a broadening of the security agenda to
encompass not only physical security, the use of force and military
capabilities, but also the provision of material well-being and
dignity to vulnerable communities. This edited volume seeks to
identify key concepts and themes in the national discourse of
several European countries, addressing security at a meta-narrative
and conceptual level, illustrating the changes taking place in
approaches to security, and in particular, mapping moves away from
a paradigm of 'national security' to one which might be called
'human security'. It also enables an assessment of whether national
security is currently converging at either European or global
levels. This book will be of much interest to students of human
security, European politics, discourse analysis, war and conflict
studies, and IR/security studies in general.
