Our New Security Paradigm - Who Can Help?

In the period since the end of the Cold War, the range of problems defined as threatening personal, group, state, international and global security has widened considerably, as has the range of agencies involved in providing such security.

Together, the events of 11 September 2001, the Indian Ocean tsunami in December 2004, Hurricane Katrina the USA in 2005, and the 7/7 attacks in London in Summer 2005 - and the multi-agency response to them - exemplify this new security paradigm.

It is clear that the risk of major armed conflict between states, which has absorbed soldiers', scholars' and statesmen's attention for the last two centuries, has been compounded by new threats of economic dislocation, crime, drugs, environmental damage, state collapse, non-state actors, anti-elite action, 'super-terrorism' and the re-emergence of racial, religious and tribal tension. These factors threaten the lives and wellbeing of many people and groups, the fabric of society and the structure of the nation state.
