International security and sustainable development

Abstract

The subject matter of international security and sustainable development is extraordinarily wide-ranging and involves three crucial issues to be addressed in the twenty-first century: (a) how to live (i.e., questions of development), (b) how to live with each other (i.e., questions of security), and (c) how to live with nature (i.e., questions of sustainability). It is just not clear how the three issues hang together. For example, even if we lived in a perfectly safe and secure world, we would still need to deal with the topics of development and sustainability and even if we had both of these, we would still not necessarily be safe and secure from each other.
