Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Human Security examines the evolving concept of security beyond traditional military concerns, encompassing human security, gender equality, and the impact of political and social phenomena on individual and community well-being. It explores issues such as gender-based violence, populist movements' effects on rights, electoral violence, and the role of technology and policing in post-conflict and developing contexts. The journal also addresses the security implications of labor market changes and the development of international legal frameworks for emerging technologies.
