Examines global development and security agendas, and how they impact on individual human security in the 1990s

This book argues that the global development and security agendas are merging. No longer is the language of security confined within the straitjacket of the state and associated national security concerns. The spotlight is shifting to the legitimate security concerns of human beings. The book examines how development is promoted by global governance institutions and how this has impacted on human security in the 1990s.

Caroline Thomas focuses on the effects of trade, finance, and investment liberalisation on deepening inequality. She explores different approaches for addressing the deepening inequality which threatens the economy at all levels, from the household, to the community, to the global. The book investigates reformist and transformist visions of the future and the contrasting policies tabled for their achievements. Thomas argues that ultimately human security requires a different developmental strategy.

Caroline Thomas is Professor of Global Politics at the University of Southampton. Her publications include Trade and New Social Issues (Routledge, 1998); Globalization and the South (Macmillan, 1997) and The Environment in International Relations, (RIIA, 1992).
