Document Summary
Crm324 week10: the future of our security. [the concept of security has been redefined and expanded. Mentioned the main emphasis in terms of security shifts: concentrating on the state and ability of state to defend itself against other states (military concept) -> less traditional forms of security: human security. Some of the major themes: the rise of non-state actors and traditional borders, unintended consequences, etc. Rise of non-state actors = biggest shift. So we moved away from state entities to non-state entities. Examples: terrorists that are linked to a state, organized crime, rise of cybercrime so organizations, researchers with leaking of information, chemical agents. States right now are being threatened mostly by threats that are not other states: terrorist organizations, banks, etc. ] Defense budgets: still being looked at (very important analysis) but we need to move beyond that when it comes to security and impact.
