Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. South Asia with its immense human security deficit compounded by inter state tensions and the consequent diversion of human and financial resources from people's needs to states preferences urgently requires a change in mindset. When the peoples of the region obtained independence from colonial domination human security was the overarching norm. The great hope was that freedom would bring them broad based security and opportunities for self development. Some six decades later those hopes remain unrealized to a large degree. While large numbers of people remain mired in poverty and insecurity the political orientation of elites has slid into an overwhelming preoccupation with state security. This volume is an attempt to redress the balance. Its thrust is to bring human security back to centre stage and to highlight the problems and needs of the people of the subcontinent. This book is the latest in a series of the work undertaken by the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies (IPCS) on alterative approaches to security and second on the subject of human security. 157 pp.…

In the new millennium there is a growing realization that the concept of security can no longer be confined to the narrow landscape of the military-strategic concerns of the state The focus is increasingly shifting to â??human security which centers on ordinary people and their security needs This conception encompasses a broad and comprehensive realm that includes military as well as economic political environmental and cultural security In the age of globalisation political boundaries count for little the pursuit of security is affected by linkages between the local the national and the global The state is still central but is both art of the problem and part of the solution It is at once the biggest violator of human security and the primary instrument for the attainment of a secure existence for its citizens The extent to which the state attends to peoples security needs ultimately depends on its accountability to the public which in turn depends on the effective functioning of democracyIn South Asia the expanded people-centric conception of security is gradually finding voice Yet the older elitist notion of security remains well entrenched within the power structure of state and society In this volume eminent scholars from the region break out of the mould and draw attention to the diverse facets of security from the standpoint of the average South Asian man woman and child They explore vital security issues relating to economic well-being ethnic identity religion gender and political legitimacy In doing so they seek a more comprehensive and democratic basis for the understanding of security in the regionRajesh M Basrur obtained his MA and M Phil in History from University of Delhi and MA and Ph D in Politics from University of Bombay now Mumbai India and has taught in both disciplines in Mumbai Ha has been a Shastri fellow at Simon Fraser University and a Fulbright fellow at the University of Illinois at Urban Champaign He is currently Director of the Centre for Global Studies an independent research institution at Mumbai 264 pp.…
