The past decades have seen enormous changes in our perceptions of 'security', the causes of insecurity and the measures adopted to address them. Threats of terrorism and the impacts of globalisation and mass migration have shaped our identities, politics and world views. This volume of essays analyses these shifts in thinking and, in particular, critically engages with the concept of 'human security' from legal, international relations and human rights perspectives. Contributors consider the special circumstances of non-citizens, such as refugees, migrants, and displaced and stateless persons, and assess whether, conceptually and practically, 'human security' helps to address the multiple challenges they face.
• Provides a critical review of the emerging concept of human security within the specific context of displacement, migration and counter-terrorism • Interdisciplinary approach to theories of security will appeal to lawyers, international relations scholars and policy makers who wish to understand modern security debates in context • Analyses the different contexts of displacement and migration, helping the reader understand the causes and consequences of displacement and migration.
