Human Security and Intrinsic Biases: A New Domination
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Human security has now come to establish itself as a widely accepted branch of security studies, which until the cold war had kept itself preoccupied with military understanding of security with state as the main referent object. Now the individual or the community at large, have become the point of reference and security broadened to include social, political, economic and environmental aspect. But the question is if this shift of focus has brought a change in the western-centrism of the whole concept. In this paper, we argue that though initially human security looked to be a point of departure from the unequal and biased international system, it was but a continuation of the same, indeed even more intensified. Keywords: Human security, Western centricism, Military-Statist agenda, Non-Traditional understanding
