The traditional notion of national and international security as basically avoiding war between and preventing invasion of/by other states has, perforce, been superseded in recent years. In the post-Cold War period ‘human security’ has become extremely important, particularly since 9/11, and in light of subsequent Islamist attacks on the West. To provide all human beings with such personal ‘securities’ as a secure food supply, human and civil rights, a clean and safe environment, etc.. has become recognised both by researchers in the field and by international bodies such as the UN as of paramount importance. A more integrated approach to studying this area is required to achieve the desired results of integrated security- i.e. from the human to the international level.
