Beskrivning
The Oxford Handbook of Human Security redefines what it means to be secure in the twenty-first century, placing the individual, rather than the state, at the center of analysis. Edited by Derek S. Reveron, David P. Polatty IV, and Summer Marion, this comprehensive volume examines how threats such as climate change, pandemics, migration, digital surveillance, and disinformation transcend borders and reshape global stability. The book explores how traditional national security frameworks—focused on territory and power—can evolve to meet the interconnected crises of our time by emphasizing protection, empowerment, and resilience.Organized into eight thematic sections, the Handbook brings together leading scholars and practitioners from around the world to address the political, economic, environmental, health, and technological dimensions of human security. From the UN's "Four Freedoms" to the Sustainable Development Goals, contributors trace the evolution of people-centered security thinking and its practical implications for governance at all levels. Through diverse case studies, the volume highlights both the promise and the complexity of implementing human security approaches in an era of global interdependence and growing authoritarianism. The result is an essential guide for understanding the challenges and benefits of safeguarding human dignity in research and policy, towards a more inclusive security paradigm.
