UNITED NATIONS PEACEKEEPING CHALLENGE
Global Security in a Changing World
Series Editor: Professor Nana K. Poku,
Health Economics and AIDS Research Division (HEARD), South Africa
Globalization is changing the world dramatically, and a very public debate is taking place about the form, extent and significance of these changes. At the centre of this debate lie conflicting claims about the forces and processes shaping security. As a result, notions of inequality, poverty and the cultural realm of identity politics have all surfaced alongside terrorism, environmental changes and bio-medical weapons as essential features of the contemporary global political landscape. In this sense, the debate on globalization calls for a fundamental shift from a status quo political reality to one that dislodges states as the primary referent, and instead sees states as a means and not the end to various security issues, ranging from individual security to international terrorism. More importantly, centred at the cognitive stage of thought, it is also a move towards conceiving the concept of insecurity in terms of change.
The series attempts to address this imbalance by encouraging a robust and multi-disciplinary assessment of the asymmetrical nature of globalization. Scholarship is sought from areas such as: global governance, poverty and insecurity, development, civil society, religion, terrorism and globalization.
