Global Security for the 21st Century
This programme contains projects which focus on security threats that
are global in their causes and impact. The solutions to these threats
will require fundamental shifts in the way that organisations, governments
and peoples think about, and legislate for, war and peace.
Central to this programme is an ongoing critical analysis of the current
‘war on terror’ which shows how acutely the current approach
to security is failing, and how it is in danger of distracting world
leaders from the far more deadly and unavoidable threats posed by climate
change, resource competition, poverty and marginalisation, and global
militarisation.
Linked to this analysis are a range of initiatives to shift thinking
towards non-military conflict prevention, and the protection of innocent
life.
