Comprehensive Global Security: A Copernican Reversal

Piet H. J. J. Terhal

Chapter 12 in The Economics of International Security, 1994, pp 106-117 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes four main security problems encountered worldwide and argues that one common root cause of these problems is the absence of a comprehensive global security system. The foundation of this study is the hypothesis that the nation state, one of the most powerful macro-sociological structures that human beings have formed, can be interpreted as a tentative security system which is only partially effective. Its very effectiveness points to ways to overcome its failures by a radical change of perspective.
