Traditional Security The Traditional Security paradigm refers to a realist construct of security in which the referent object of security is the state. The prevalence of this theorem reached a peak during the Cold War. For almost half a century, major world powers entrusted the security of their nation to a balance of power among states. In this sense international stability relied on the premise that if state security is maintained, then the security of citizens will necessarily follow.[1] Traditional security relied on the anarchistic balance of power, a military build-up between the US and the Soviet Union (the two superpowers), and on the absolute sovereignty of the nation-state.[2] Security was seen as protection from invasion; executed during proxy conflicts using technical and military capabilities.

The human security paradigm includes cooperative, comprehensive, collective measures, aimed to ensure security for the individual and resultantly for the state. Human security aims at safeguarding the vital core of all human lives from critical pervasive threats, in a way that is consistent with long-term human fulfillment[1]. The concept grew out of a post-Cold War multi-disciplinary approach involving a number of research fields, including development studies, international...
