The new security: shifting the boundaries

This chapter will consider many diverse meanings of the term security. It will also include examples of various applications that show how understandings of the notion have broadened well beyond traditional boundaries. Perspectives will include international relations, security studies, economic and human security, psychological security, and sociological security-leading to what has been recently termed 'the new security'. The latter being a concept that is applied in an increasingly mobile world. Case studies in the chapter are based on the topics of campus security, employment security, housing security, food security and personal security.
