Summary/Abstract: The concept of human security does show that state-centric realism is not a sufficient security argument in that it does not adequately address the security of people inside states from political violence. It therefore does not deserve to be the dominant understanding of security. In the contemporary context the concept of security should encompass properly functioning states and their people. But so far attempts at conceptually reconciling or converging arguments about the security of the state and people are underdeveloped and vulnerable to criticism.
