Development of a new paradigm for security studies

Abstract

The globalizing world faced new security risks, challenges, and threats, and has to develop appropriate measures to respond to them. Globalization causes growing interdependence in different dimensions and the universalization of different processes. This transformation complicated the maintenance of international peace and security, creating a need to revise the theoretical framework for International Security. The emergence of new influences and the changing environment of international relations contribute to shifts in security theorizing. Previously, security was considered from the perspective of neorealism and neoliberalism. The state-centered approach was a prevailing one. On the one hand, the effects of globalization led to the development of a new security paradigm. We have to enlarge our understanding of security and move on to globalsecurity. New stakeholders and areas are the focus of the analysis ofmodern theories. However, at the same time, the pandemic has demonstrated that only states can undertake effective measures to protect people and warranty recovery for economic loss. Moreover, it must be recalled that geopolitical maneuvering in the world is intensifying, sometimes in an aggressive manner. In a complicated context, researchers have to consider more variables to offer the new security paradigmand new security approaches. They tend toward a holistic and comprehensive perspective that embraces different areas and levels.
