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

这项研究显然对澳大利亚的国际发展援助和外交政策的制定都有潜在的好处。该项目将允许思考安全威胁不断变化的性质，以及澳大利亚最有效的应对措施，并将促进学者、非政府组织和政府之间的对话。该项目涉及的人的安全问题强调了对安全的非传统威胁，并将有助于今后在这些领域的政策应对。其中一些威胁，如人员大规模流动和流行病，在澳大利亚研究理事会的标准中特别提到。

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.
