SustainableSecurity.org

On the the 8th anniversary of 9-11, Oxford Research Group launched the new website SustainableSecurity.org [1]

The website is a platform for promoting a better understanding of the real threats to global security in the 21st century and the policies that should be implemented to address those threats at their root cause.   It will continually draw together the best thinking and analysis from as many different sources as possible.

The webiste is organised to highlight four interconnected drivers of global insecurity:

Climate Change [2]

Competition over natural resources [3]

Global militarisation [4]

Poverty and marginalisation [5]

Articles and resources are allocated to one or more of these headings, but the overall emphasis is on the interconnected nature of these threats and the need for comprehensive, multilateral approaches to them.   ORG's Director John Sloboda has contributed the first specially commissioned article to the site, entitled "Swimming upstream to Sustainable Security [6]".

The editorial policy for the site will be overseen by the project Advisory Board and implemented by the site Editor; Thomas Phipps [7] as well as various Associate Editors.
