Human Security in a Borderless World

Authors

Charles E. Costanzo

Abstract

The authors, professors in professional military education in the U.S. Navy (Reveron) and the U.S. Air Force (Mahoney-Norris), bring more than sixty years of collective expertise as military officers and educators to their subject—“human security,” which they define as “a people-centered approach focused on individual human beings and their rights and needs.” The au- thors’ purpose is to transcend the traditional national-security model rooted in the so-called realist school of international relations and offer a broader construct that examines a continuum of interrelated issue areas that affect individuals and groups in ways that cumulatively influence and shape regional and international security.
