Welcome back! We’ve just re-launched with a brand new look, great new authors and, as always, lots to say!
Sustainablesecurity.org is space to debate, discuss and develop understandings of modern insecurity within a ‘sustainable security’ framework, which realises the interconnected underlying drivers of challenges to global security and seeks to counter them with preventive policy solutions.
The blog is a project of the Sustainable Security programme of Oxford Research Group, originally launched in September 2009.
Sustainablesecurity.org is space to debate, discuss and develop understandings of modern insecurity within a ‘sustainable security’ framework, which realises the interconnected underlying drivers of challenges to global security in the 21st century. Through topical discussion pieces, we aim to explore the integrated, preventive policies that are needed to solve these threats at source.
As well as covering a range of pertinent modern security challenges, the website highlights four key interconnected drivers of global insecurity:
- Climate Change
- Competition over natural resources
- Global militarisation
- Marginalisation
Articles and resources are allocated to one or more of these headings, but the overall emphasis is on the interconnected nature of these threats and the need for comprehensive, multilateral approaches to them. For a wider range of topics, try our ‘Hot Topics’ tag cloud in the sidebar to the right.
Don’t forget, you can sign up for updates about new blog posts and special features.
We hope you enjoy exploring the new site!
