Human Security[edit]
Human security is an emerging theory that challenges the traditional assumption that security should be considered in terms of a nation, asserting that in order to be effective security concerns need to be addressed in the framework of individual citizens. Two main strains of thought are developing in the field and differ slightly in the way they tackle the issue of human security. First is the ‘freedom from fear’ approach, which aims to focus on stopping violence, war and conflict to improve human security in a manageable way. Second is the more holistic ‘freedom from want’ approach which expands on the first theory by including tackling poverty, hunger and disease which they argue endangers many more people than conflicts alone.
