Human Security Concept: The Root of U.S. National Security and Foreign Policy

摘要

The concept of human security Was first defined by the UN Development Program (uNDP) in 1994.. It was defined as the security of persons in seven domains: economic security (assured basic income); food security (physical and economic access to food); health security (relative freedom from disease and infection); environmental security (access to sanitary water supply, clean air and a non-degraded land system); personal security (security from physical , violence and threats); community security (security of cultural identity); and political security (protection of basic human rights and freedoms). A distinction was drawn between human development which is about widening people's economic choices and human security which is about people being able to exercise these choices safely and freely.
