What is the Human Security Approach and How the Phenomenon Contributed to the International Security Agenda: Canadian and Japanese Paradigms
Journal Title: GÜVENLİK STRATEJİLERİ DERGİSİ - Year 2016, Vol 12, Issue 24
Abstract
The state-centered and hard-power-oriented security notion, which was dominant perspective in the international conjuncture, has been re-defined after the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). In this work, “human security” notion as a primary challenge to the traditional security conception will be examined with the respect of widening international security agenda and expanding actors of security. Within this framework, a normative understanding of human security, which reflects the security requests of individuals and non-governmental organizations (NGO) in security implementations, will be investigated by analyzing the Canadian and Japanese governments’ normative initiatives in the security field. This article stresses the Canadian and Japanese governments’ contributions to supra-national organizations such as the United Nation (UN) and International Criminal Court (ICC) in respect of institutionalizing the normative actions towards human security approach. Thus, it aims to highlight the shifting security conception and contribute to the security studies literature in Turkey through applying text and discourse analysis on Canadian and Japanese policymakers’ arguments.
