Summary: The word security has a military connotation and refers to the activities involved in protecting or defending a country, in which the State has a central role. This book argues that the State provides as well as threatens security, and that by broadening the concept of security to include both military and non-military threats such as those related to ecological, social, economic and political causes, a system of checks and balances can be introduced to regulate the State. P.R. Chari is Director, Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies, New Delhi and Visiting Fellow, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies. Sonika Gupta is Research Officer, Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies.
