Reconceptualizing human security: its uses and limitations for developing Australian foreign policy?

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The clear potential benefit of this research is for both Australia's international development assistance, and for development of foreign policy. The project will allow reflection on the changing nature of security threats, and Australia's most effective responses, and will foster dialogue between academics, non-government organisations and government. The issues of human security which the project addresses emphasise non-traditional threats to security, and will assist in future policy responses in these areas. Some of these threats, such as large-scale movements of people and epidemic diseases, are specifically mentioned in the Australian Research Council criteria.
