Year: 2018
Type: preprint
Abstract: The paper offers theoretical perspectives on global security in the 21st century. Traditional notion of security has changed dramatically. Today’s global flows of goods, services, finance and people highlight the many interlinkages in the security of all states and people. Economic liberalization and globalization in recent decades have created a new breed of threats to national and human security in the form of terrorist attacks, ethnic violence, epidemics and economic downturns. There is also a fear that existing institutions and policies are not able to cope with the weakening multilateralism, disregard for human rights, eroding commitment to eradicate poverty and deprivation, growing educated unemployment and the tendency to neglect global responsibilities in an increasingly integrated world. People throughout the world live under varied conditions of insecurity. There is the need for integrated global policies that focus on people’s survival, livelihood and dignity.
