A Reductionist, Idealistic Notion that Adds Little Analytical Value
"人的安全":一种"还原主义"和"理想主义"的误导

The concept of human security drives towards a reductionist and idealistic understanding of international security.There is certainly a case for studying the interplay between the international and domestic security agendas,but my concern is that human security aims more at collapsing them than at opening up their relationship.By attempting to collapse all the possible referent objects for security into a single one,human security excludes the claims of both collective and non-human(e.g.environmental)referent objects in a way that defies both other moral claims and the actual practices of securitization.Finally,reconstructing human rights as human security reinforces the danger that security is taken to be the desired end.Human rights is much better placed to support the idea that the desired end is some form of desecuritization down into normal politics.Thus,as an analysis framework,human security proliferates concepts without adding analytical value in international security studies.
