“Millions of people in the world live in conditions of intolerable insecurity. They risk being killed, robbed, tortured, and/or raped; and they risk dying from disease or lack of food, clean water, and/or sanitation; they risk dying in storms, floods, and famines, which are increasingly common because of climate change.” These are key security threats, argue Shannon Beebe and Mary Kaldor in their new book The Ultimate Weapon Is No Weapon: Human Security and the New Rules of War and Peace. Yet, they contend, security forces are designed to fight the last century’s wars.
