Global Development and Human Security explores the possibility of
connecting all countries to the global economy while defusing the
social tensions and managing the security risks that can result
from exposure to a turbulent international system. The complex
intersection between security and development policies has not been
adequately mapped or explored. Frail and failing states that lack
sound market and security institutions are the weak links in an
interconnected global system. Yet aid allocation principles
discourage engagement with these "difficult partners," and the
insular culture of development assistance hinders interaction with
the security community. In a world beset by "problems without
passport" (infectious diseases, environmental pollution,
international crime, conflict spillovers, terrorism, etc.), a new
paradigm should supplant the now obsolete development consensus.
The authors took stock of current development practices through the
prism of Sweden's Shared Responsibility bill, which addresses
peace, security, opportunity, environmental conservation, human
rights, and democracy. The resulting volume draws the implications
of emerging threats to global peace and prosperity for development
policy and practice. It seeks to build bridges of understanding
between the development community and the security establishment by
bringing together lessons of experience currently scattered in the
literature. Each chapter is self-contained and includes policy
findings and recommendations. The book is principally aimed at
practitioners who need up-to-date knowledge about security and
development issues. Publication of this paperback edition makes the
book available for use as an introductory text for security
specialists with little knowledge of development or for development
specialists with limited knowledge of security, or for college or
university students in these areas.
