summarize the utility of human security :sovereignty and humanitarian intervention by NocholasnThomas And William TT.ow
Answers
Answer:
‘Human security’ is a promising but still underdeveloped paradigmatic
approach to understanding contemporary security politics. We argue that
tension between those embracing the politics of development and those
supporting the human security paradigm has intensified because the transnational dimensions embodied within the latter approach have been underassessed. The idea of ‘threat’ also needs to be identified with more
precision for the human security concept to accrue analytical credibility.
We focus on how transnational behaviour addresses the central human
security problems of vulnerability and immediacy. Human security’s utility for confronting crisis is also evaluated via the application of two case
studies of humanitarian intervention: the 1994 multinational operation in
Haiti and the 1999 intervention in East Timor. We conclude that, while
general security politics includes both domestic and international issues,
human security allows us to transcend sovereign prerogatives and to
address emerging transregional threats more effectively
