Conceptualizing Global Security: From the Human Security Approach to the People-Centered Approach

Michela Arricale

 

The crisis of the international order we experience cannot be solved by weapons, nor by political interference guided by an ideology doomed to defeat History. It require a long process of sustainable development. Sustainable development is development that not only generates economic growth but distributes its benefits equitability; that regenerates the environment rather than destroying it; that empowers people rather then marginalizing them… The peace agenda and the development agenda must finally be integrated. Without peace, there may be no development. But without development, peace is threatened.
