ISA at UNAI: Talking Human Security in an Uncertain Time

David Andersen-Rodgers, Kerry Crawford, Anjali Dayal, and Michelle Jurkovich posted in Groups on July 25, 2017

In the 21st century, a comprehensive approach to security problems requires willingness to understand and respond to the security problems that individuals face. Moreover, as ISA and United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) fully understand, dialogue between scholars and decision-makers is key to achieving progress toward understanding immediate and long-term threats to individuals, states, and the international community. Civil society, state leaders, international organizations, and scholars are still trying to reach a consensus on the meaning of human security writ large, the most useful metrics for tracking and understanding problems such as hunger and violence against civilians, and the best practices for mitigating violent threats and chronic needs.
