Security studies : an introduction

The study of security is essential for understanding world politics, as it addresses the daily threats faced by individuals globally, including violence, deprivation, and displacement. Defined as the alleviation of threats to valued interests, security is inherently political and varies in meaning across different contexts. While it is recognized as an essentially contested concept, scholars in International Relations focus on its implications for resource allocation and power dynamics. Security studies blend historical analysis, current assessments, and future policymaking, making the concept not just an intellectual pursuit but a vital part of the quest to ensure safety and well-being for communities worldwide.
