The Illusion of Security Without a State
Security is a multidimensional concept. It is, firstly, a human right realized through the possibility of living without fear, with dignity and freedom. Secondly, it is a public policy objective, translated into strategies for coexistence and crime reduction. Finally, it is a power of the State, expressed through the legitimate monopoly of force, territorial control, and the preservation of public order.
TL;DR
- Security is a multidimensional concept.
- It is a human right, allowing people to live without fear, with dignity and freedom.
- It is a public policy objective, focusing on coexistence and crime reduction strategies.
- It is a state power, involving the monopoly of force, territorial control, and public order preservation.
