What is Security?What is Security?
` The concept of security can be defined indifferent ways, ranging from relativelyrestrictive definitions building on militarydefense (security from war conquest) to
more inclusive definitions of security thatconsider a wider range of threats againsthuman life.
` Security is the degree of protection against
danger, damage, loss, and criminal activity.Security as a form of protection arestructures and processes that provide or improvesecurity as a condition.

y At the simplest level, security may be
defined as:
y "the quality or state of being secure,
y "freedom from danger," or
y "freedom from fear or anxiety."

The Security Dilemma

5/34
Individual securityIndividual security
`On the individual level, security is most oftenunderstood as safety. This safety includesfreedom from harm, whether physical or
psychological. Threats to an individual'ssecurity can produce the fear or anxietymentioned.
` The concept of individual security can
therefore be linked to an individual'sperception of her or his standard of living.The individual may thus equate security witha high standard of living.

Group securityGroup security
` The definition of security at the group levelshares many similarities with the definition ofindividual security; as the individual expects tohave security of person, so does the group. But at
the group level, an important aspect of security isfreedom from discrimination.
` Group security may be interpreted as safety fromthreats to the group's identity.As with ensuring
individual security, laws help ensure groupsecurity, although laws can also be discriminatory,which is actually one source of intractableconflict.

Regional securityRegional security
` Discussing regional security requires us to firstdefine the extent of the "region." Since we haveplaced the regional beneath the national level inthis hierarchy, we are speaking of a physical area
within a nation, which could be a collection ofprovinces, cities, or states.` The simplest concept of security at the regional
level could be economic, implying protection ofregional interests. Perhaps a regional association
with, or ownership of, a valued resource couldprovoke desires for security, and theresponsibility for protecting that security wouldrest on the region.
8/8/2019 Security (Peace)

y On a more subtle level, religious, national,
or ethnic groups may shrewdly promote
their interests under the guise of regional
security, and may elevate their groupsecurity to a regional priority level.
8/8/2019 Security (Peace)
9/34
National securityNational security
` The national level of security is probably the mostoften examined and contentious definition ofsecurity. The nation-state often assumes the roleof guarantor for individual security, group security,
and perhaps regional security.` The term "national security" has recently been
used to justify "security" procedures within theUnited States as well as military action outside its
borders. This widens the parameters for nationalsecurity definitions, and implies a wide range ofactions available to a nation.

Global securityGlobal security
Global security, however, may be undermined bynational security concerns; if one nation feelsthreatened by another, then global security cannotexist since members of the world are in
disagreement.global security is also undermined by negativejudgment by one nation of another's philosophy ofgovernment. If nationA decides that nation B'sgoverning methods are wrong, nationA will not
submit to a global authority that allows nation B'smethods to continue. Global security is thus aweak concept, since it assumes a supranationalentity to whose judgment nations would yield inmatters of disagreement.

Security dilemmaSecurity dilemma
y Security dilemma gets to the very heartof politics among nations: the existentialcondition of uncertainty in human affairs.
It is in this condition that sovereign statesinteract, and which they have to providefor their own security, ultimately withmilitary force. This is the focus of our
puzzle: those weapons that states can usefor their own self-protection, potentiallyor actually threaten harm to others.
