• Sommario/riassunto: This book examines how national security strategies relate to an emerging common European or global vision of security, and to human security ideas. Human security and national security are often regarded as competing and mutually antagonistic; the former was proposed and has been operationalised in ways which represent a paradigm shift ; away from state-centric approaches and the dominance of national-security perspectives.
