“…Koncept obuhvata prioritetne mjere i instrumente bezbjednosti, koje su šire i obuhvatnije u odnosu na mjere iz domena nacionalne bezbjednosti, koje u velikoj mjeri kod ljudi generišu još veći osećaj nesigurnosti. Tako one uključuju zaštitu ljudi na razne načine, jačanje i snaženje njihovog psihološkog osjećaja sigurnosti 1 .…”

REZIME: U skladu sa osnovama liberalnog internacionalizma politička moralna zajednica se može proširiti preko granica nacionalne države. Prisustvo moralne dimenzije je inherentno spoljnoj politici, pa tako i spoljnopolitičkoj agendi ljudske bezbjednosti. Pojam ljudske bezbjednosti uzima pojedinca i društvo u kome živi za referentni okvir za razliku od klasič-nog pojma nacionalne bezbjednosti, čiji je referentni okvir država i njena teritorija. To je manje teorijski zasnovan pristup, a više politička praksa. U kanadskoj agendi ljudske bezbjednosti, koja je utemeljena u tradiciji kanadske spoljne politike, inkorporirane su ključne vrijednosti kanadskog društva, sa ciljem njihove projekcije na međunarodnu politiku. Ona je usmjerena je na sprečavanje i prevenciju nasilnih konflikata i tranziciju ka demokratiji i zasnovana na postulatima liberalne demokratije, u skladu sa političkom filozofijom liberalnog internacionalizma. Iako je kanadski pristup ljudskoj bezbjednosti afirmisan u međunarodnoj politici, učinci ove agende u praksi ne korespondiraju u potpunosti sa projektovanim ciljevima. Ključne riječi: moralna zajednica, liberalni internacionalizam, agenda ljudske bezbjednosti, međunarodna politika, međunarodni konflikti. UvodU skladu sa osnovama liberalnog internacionalizma stoji da se politič-ka moralna zajednica može proširiti preko granica nacionalne države. Tako etična spoljna politika nije prazni ideološki konstrukt, već sredstvo i način za postizanje nacionalnog interesa, koji se ogleda kroz povećanje ugleda u međunarodnoj politici. U kontekstu prijetnji i rizika u globalizovanom svijetu politički odlučioci nalaze se pred dilemom etičnog prosuđivanja u cilju UDK: 364.2::316.37(71)

“…Th e concept has its fi rst articulation in Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1941 State of the Union speech, in which he identifi ed "freedom from fear" and "freedom from want" as two of four "essential freedoms" to which all people are entitled (Boyle and Simonsen 2004). Th e concept reemerged in the late years of the Cold War, was cultivated in many forms by academics and policymakers (Axworthy 1996;Homer-Dixon 1994;Mathew 1989;Sen 1983Sen , 1998Ullman 1983), and was synthesized in the 1994 UN Human Development Report (UNDP, 1994). In this report the UNDP echoed FDR, defi ning human security as "freedom from fear" and "freedom from want" at the individual and community levels, and outlining its seven interdependent and equally signifi cant aspects: economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, and physical security.…”

Microfi nance has recently grown in reputation as a way to achieve the UN's Millennium Development Goals. However, there is concern that the industry has become preoccupied with profi tability rather than improved quality of life. To evaluate the transformative capacity of microfi nance requires a reassessment of how it is typically practiced. Th e goals of this article are to introduce human security as a theoretical framework for evaluating the values and norms of microfi nance organizations and to discuss the natural environment as a component of human security that is neglected by microfi nance, arguably at great risk to clients and the MFIs themselves.

“…6 There has been a mutation in the way security is conceived. In the 1990s, priorities in terms of security essentially involved the strategic competition among superpowers to maintain deterrence and balance of power and nuclear war threat (see, for instance, Axworthy, 1997). The vision of the UN exceeds the actual capabilities of Third World countries and for this reason it is virtually impossible to make it practicable: Human security, in its broadest sense, embraces far more than the absence of violent conflict.…”

“…11 It is a comprehensive reform that covers more than just the military. It is aimed at reinforcing the role of civil society as well as ensuring human security (Axworthy, 1997;Mack, 2000). Such reform of the security sector would not lead to an overlapping of defence and law enforcement functions.…”

This article challenges established security ideas on Latin America, beginning with the assumption that militarised states and military coups d'état now belong to a bygone era. The attempt is to demonstrate that, despite a regional framework for cooperation, democratic governments here have not established a democratic process of decision‐making, particularly where security issues are concerned. This absence of democratic civil control over the military could challenge, and even potentially undermine, the consolidation of democracy in Latin America.
