This chapter explores what a critical approach to UN peacekeeping entails and highlights the valuable contributions of Critical Security Studies (CSS) to capture the nature and significance of peace operations in international politics. It shows how CSS questions the values and representations that inform UN peacekeeping and the political order that peacekeeping interventions shape, promote or sustain. It further discusses how CSS unpacks peacekeeping (often mundane and daily) practices and their political and social implications and takes into account non-traditional security issues. The chapter then relies on CSS theoretical and methodological tools to study the specific case of the rise of environmental practices in UN peacekeeping. Drawing on the concepts of securitisation and environmentalisation, it demonstrates how UN peacekeeping has been framed as relevant to environmental policies, while contributing to a broader process of securitisation of the environment.

Introduces an issue of Democracy and Security.

Historically, Pakistan has held a realist oriented security approach that has focused on building up military power and has been led by four military dictators which hampers a democracy to fully flourish. Pakistan´s prime minister Nawaz Sharif is, who marked a historic democratic transition when he came to power, is currently witnessing a domestic crisis as caused by the myriad of militant organisations that operate on sectarian lines. The one-yearold National Action Plan developed to counter terror has given the armed forces more power, which concerns human rights activists. Few will contend that the rising number of nontraditional security threats demanded a more broader and wider security definition that went beyond state security and perceived the individual as the referent object of security. Human security has, since its inception in 1994 gained ground in security studies, as well as in the policy community. The concept has been divided between two camps; "freedom from fear" – that encompasses freedom from physical political violence, whilst "freedom from want" deals with much broader issues as poverty and unemployment. I apply both of these in my case study of Pakistan. Thus, this thesis acknowledges the changing nature of security, and finds the incorporation of a comprehensive human security framework, as much needed Pakistan supplement to traditional security. In so doing, the research is based on a combination of desk studies and a field trip to Pakistan. Twenty interviews have been conducted, five in each city - Abbottabad, Islamabad, Lahore and Rawalpindi, where male above 30 years in the workforce have been randomly interviewed about how they perceive their own security and what their security needs are. The main findings of this research highlight the security needs of the Pakistani people as the call for human security, democracy, rule of law, and justice. They have expressed grave concern, nepotism and distrust of both the civilian and insufficient engagement in addressing their individual security needs. This is leading to less political will in the population, which is not fruitful for democracy to flourish. In some cases, military rule is more favoured because it provides better results than democratic elected governments. Additionally, the informants identified and recognised several dimensions of human security and Islamic values as pivotal for their security and expressed the absence of trust to their government institutions and nepotism. They VII called for a more "active" state that should improve its efforts to meet the needs of its people. This cannot be done effectively without improving the civilian leadership and enhancing its implementation capacity. The thesis draws the conclusion that point in the direction of incorporating the human security framework as a mean to achieve domestic order and human dignity among Pakistanis will supplement and enhance national security. ; M-IR

Journal home page page https://arcticyearbook.com/arctic-yearbook/2019 . ; Since Mikhail Gorbachev's icebreaking Murmansk speech in 1987, the Arctic has been considered to be an "exceptional" region of peace and cooperation in security studies. While acknowledging the relevance of this narrative, this article nevertheless argues the "Arctic exceptionalism" narrative is insufficient for understanding the complex security situation in the region. The lens of comprehensive security allows for an analysis of power that reveals which security narratives dominate, why, and who decides. After a brief description of the key elements associated with "Arctic Exceptionalism" and clarification of the terms "Arctic," "security," and "comprehensive security," this article offers four core arguments against the dominance of the Arctic Exceptionalism narrative, and concludes that the comprehensive security approach provides a more nuanced and dynamic way of capturing the dynamic cooperative and competitive narratives of Arctic security today.

IT securiteers - The human and technical dimension working for the organisation. Current corporate governance regulations and international standards lead many organisations, big and small, to the creation of an information technology (IT) security function in their organisational chart or to the acquisition of services from the IT security industry. More often than desired, these teams are only useful for companies' executives to tick the corresponding box in a certification process, be it ISO, ITIL, PCI, etc. Many IT security teams do not provide business value to their company. They fail to really protect the organisation from the increasing number of threats targeting its information systems. IT Security Management provides an insight into how to create and grow a team of passionate IT security professionals. We will call them?securiteers?. They will add value to the business, improving the information security stance of organisations.
