Answer 2

Traditional/ hard notions of security- These deal with conventional issues, which mostly involve violence or destruction, that pose a threat to a nation. These include Aggression or War by other nations, Insurgency, civil wars, etc.  

However, such notions of security were more relevant during both the World Wars and Cold War .

Note: Notions of security differ from nation to nation. For instance, what constitutes a threat for a third world country might not be a threat for the developed nations.

Ethnic conflicts, for example, used to be a threat in relatively under developed nations of Africa but not for the nations of Europe or America.

Similarly, an attack by a nation of the rival alliance (NATO and Warsaw pact) during the peak of Cold War (late 1950s to early 1960s) was a threat for nations of the First and the Second World nations whereas most of the Third world nations were totally unaffected since they were non-aligned.

Non-traditional/ Soft notions of security- These involve all non-conventional issues, most of which emerged after the end of Cold War. These include:

1. Environment related problems- Global Warming, Pollution, Resource depletion, etc.

2. Poverty

3. Terrorism ; etc.

Unlike traditional notions ,non-traditional notions of security are equally relevant for all nations since it is a globalized world now and to tackle these, we require collective affirmative action.
