Human Security – the Contemporary Paradigm?

Summary/Abstract: Debates about security and strategic concepts have retained their place at the core of international relations theory and policy-making for some decades. Shortly after the Second World War, during the Cold War period, realism and the concept of national security dominated the field of security analysis.
