• W2199855802 abstract "One of the transformations in approach and thinking about peace and security at the end of the Cold War is the emergence of the human security paradigm. It argues for a focus on the individual as the referent point for security rather than the state. Proponents of human security offer this alternative perspective to national security, which places the state at the core of security considerations. A people-centred and multi-disciplinary understanding of security, they argue, offers a more effective response to global vulnerabilities and insecurities. Although writings and publications arguing for this wider approach to security predate it, the 1994 Human Development Report (HDR) published for the first time (and since then almost every year) by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) became a landmark publication on Human Security. Invariably, many observers and analysts alike have come to see the HDR of 1994 as a defining moment for a shift in perspectives on security. The human security paradigm witnessed significant contestation particularly in the first decade after the publication of that first HDR. It was challenged for its vagueness not least by academics and researchers who argued that the wider notion of security does not offer an intellectually coherent way of looking at security. As such, a wider definition of security risked losing the basic meaning of the term. (1) Critiques thus saw this as no more than a bid by normative activists to advance certain agendas. (2) Global policy actors nonetheless embraced the ideas at the core of the human security agenda. Various national governments made human security the core of their foreign policy including Canada, Japan, Norway and Switzerland to name a few. In Africa, even before the 1994 HDR became widely known, a number of regional organisations had begun to adopt a human security perspective through their normative instruments. The revised Treaty of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) adopted in 1993; the ECOWAS Conflict Prevention Framework adopted in 2008; and the transformation of the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC) into the Southern African Development Community (SADC) following the attainment of majority rule in South Africa in 1994 are cases in point. Other Regional Economic Communities (RECs) such as the East African Community (EAC) would later declare a people-centred agenda. The continental organisation, African Union also made a move toward a focus on the security of peoples through a stated focus on the structural prevention of conflict and the inclusion of a Continental Early Warning System (CEWS) as an integral part of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA). In 2001, in an effort to develop new approaches to the security challenges affecting people across various societies, the Commission for Human Security was established as a joint initiative of the United Nations (UN) and the Government of Japan. The Commission comprised eminent individuals across disciplines and regions and was co-chaired by Japan's Sadako Ogata and the Nobel Prize Winner, Amartya Sen. This high-level attention contributed to sustaining the argument for a paradigm shift in the way threats to security of the people are addressed. Twenty years after the unveiling of the human security agenda, the argument for a focus on the individual as the referent point of security can hardly be challenged. But we have seen a pushback by defenders of the state-centric notion of security. Security issues continue to be examined and addressed in the context of state security even when those responding to security challenges couch their work in the language of human security. Indeed, sovereignty bound actors appear to have co-opted the whole notion of human security within a national security agenda. Traditional conceptualisations of human security are thus subsumed within a state security framework. …" @default.
