| Summary: | Since the end of the Cold War the meaning of security has fundamentally
changed. Issues which are labeled as non-traditional security namely human
development, economic crises, environmental degradation, natural disaster,
poverty, epidemics… have become a crucial part of the security agenda. These
changes have been intensified with the development of the two approaches:
Critical Security Studies and Human Security. This article explores how the
meaning of security has changed and how the boundaries between traditional
and non-traditional security have become blurred. The case of China is
taken as empirical evidence to support the assertion that security has evolved
beyond its traditional focus on the state. |
