This concise text presents a focused, well-rounded, and clear-eyed
introduction to the concept of human security. Questioning the
utility of traditional national-security frameworks in the post
Cold War era, Paul Battersby and Joseph M. Siracusa argue that we
must urgently reconsider the principle of state sovereignty in a
global world where threats to humanity are beyond the capacity of
any one nation to address through unilateral action. The authors
highlight circumstances, actors, and influences beyond the
traditional focus on state security, especially the role of
international organizations and nongovernmental organizations. They
also emphasize the importance of human rights, arguing for the
development of an effective intervention capacity to protect
individuals from state action as well as other security threats
arising from conflict, poverty, disease, and environmental
degradation. A welcome alternative to state-centric approaches to
security, this balanced book will be a valuable supplement for
courses in international and national security."
