This has led to human security being associated with a broadening of the security agenda to encompass not only physical security, the use of force and military capabilities, but also the provision of material well-being and dignity to vulnerable communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edited volume seeks to identify key concepts and themes in the national discourse of several European countries, addressing security at a meta-narrative and conceptual level, illustrating the changes taking place in approaches to security, and in particular, mapping moves away from a paradigm of 'national security' to one which might be called 'human security'. It also enables an assessment of whether national security is currently converging at either European or global levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of human security, European politics, discourse analysis, war and conflict studies, and IR\/security studies in general. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45238244475031,"sku":"9781138109827","price":4068.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138109827.webp?v=1769219119","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/national-european-and-human-security-from-co-existence-to-convergence-9781138109827","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
