In Kosovo, the concept of human security is invoked in a three-fold manner. First of all, the international community has applied human security for the purpose of maintaining a fragile peace and stability in Kosovo. For the international community, maintaining the fragile peace meant tolerating the establishment and operationalization of Serbian parallel institutions. This leads to the second application of human security: the parallel institutions claim that their existence is necessary to provide human security for the Serbian community in Kosovo. Consequently, this undermines the capacity of Kosovo's public institutions to exercise legal authority in the north of Kosovo and in other territorial enclaves. Parallel to this, Kosovo's institutions have viewed the human security approach as a means to prove the institutional capacity of independent self-government to provide inclusive security, welfare, and integration policies for all people in Kosovo, with a special emphasis on ethnic minorities. Accordingly, human security is used by different actors in Kosovo to pursue different political agendas, which have not resulted in achieving the primary goal of furthering human welfare and fulfilment beyond mere physical security. To the contrary, the (ab)use of human security has created the conditions for fragile governance, protracted ethnic destabilization, and stagnating economic and human development.

There are many security risks to the organizations' information assets; nonetheless, among the major threats to achieve a secure information environment are the actions and behavior of the employees when handling information. Insiders, intentionally or unintentionally, can cause serious risks, despite investments usually made on security control measures and other security related products. Insecure human behavior with respect to information security cannot entirely be solved by technical and procedural controls alone. Recently, the development of effective information security culture in organizations is increasingly considered as a way to embed appropriate security practices, and to address the human factor in information security. Past research works on this area indicate that there is a positive relationship between levels of knowledge and how employees behave. The level of knowledge significantly affects information security behavior and should be considered as a critical factor in the effectiveness of information security culture and in any further work that is carried out on information security culture. Therefore, in this paper we have identified the security knowledge required to improve employee behavior in information security culture namely; knowledge of security threat, knowledge of organization information security strategy, knowledge of security technology, knowledge of legislation, regulation and national culture, knowledge of security responsibility and knowledge of security risk. These security knowledge needs to be included as topics in security training and awareness programs conducted by organizations for their employees so that an effective information security culture within the organization can be achieved. Keywords: Information Security, Information Security Culture, Human Behavior and Security knowledge.

On 17th June 2011, in response to the Arab Spring events in neighbouring countries, King Mohamed VI of Morocco presented in a speech, reform proposals focusing on constitutional changes. Significantly, in his speech the King insisted that appointments in the military 'remain an exclusive, sovereign prerogative of the King, Supreme Commander and Chief-of-Staff of the Royal Armed Forces', while officials in charge of inter alia domestic security agencies will be appointed by him on a proposal of the Head of Government and at the initiative of the ministers concerned. Thus, Morocco's ruler, who has pursued domestic reforms in the past, and has been hailed for his response to the unrest, stopped short of establishing democratic control of the security sector. This lack of willingness to touch upon the role and powers of the security sector is symptomatic of the regimes of countries in North Africa, that have traditionally relied on the security sector, in particular the military, the police and secret and intelligence services, to shore up their authoritarian or semi-authoritarian rule, and that have focused on regime security rather than human security. ; N/A

Testimony issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "GAO testified about how homeland security is vulnerable to identity fraud. Today, counterfeit identification is easily produced and used to create fraudulent identities. Tests GAO has performed over the past 3 years demonstrate that counterfeit identification documents can be used to (1) enter the United States; (2) purchase firearms; (3) gain access to government buildings and other facilities; (4) obtain genuine identification for both fictitious and stolen identities; and (5) obtain social security numbers for fictitious identities."

The Covid-19 pandemic has clearly highlighted the dangers of an economic globalization that has little respect for environmental standards and is always threatened by the belligerent actions of the great powers in the never-ending race for economic, strategic and political power. In this context, the Thucydides trap of world leadership between the United States and China cannot fail to worry the citizens of the world. At the same time, the threats of "rogue states" and terrorism have not disappeared. What then are the new forms of state power, but also what are the greatest threats shaking the world in the 21st century? Environmental and economic conflicts will be dangerous. The ecological and economic catastrophes (global warming, rare earths, transformation of production methods, excessive inequalities) are underway, close to the tipping point. The liberal economic system is not able to solve it, with the individual interest priority.

The experience of the XX – the beginning of XXI century demonstrates the crucial importance of security for human existence. Safety study is a scientific field which is not developed enough, although its results are already de facto different from what has been studied by other sciences. Innovations in scientific knowledge, taking into account the new problems, risks and security threats identified, confirm this fact. After the end of the Cold War, a new international legal order was formed, as a result of that, studies in the field of security required its rethinking as a social phenomenon from a broader methodological points of view, not reducing security only to neutralizing military threats. Identification of subtypes of security (political, military, economic, environmental, food, energy, etc.) by field feature, depending on the presence of threats to a particular group of values does not lead to the loss of the international system of its integrity, but only groups similar variables within the system which contributes to their studies and interpretations. Attempts to build a hierarchy of security subtypes within international security are not rational enough, given their interdependence, as well as (interest, knowledge, worldview, etc.), which guide certain authors in building such a hierarchy. As a result of the variety of approaches to the interpretation of the concept of «environmental security», researches which are conducted in the XXI century are losing elements of simplicity inherent in the developments of the XX century. The use of an interdisciplinary approach complicates the coordination of environmental security research, but at the same time meets modern needs. The paper proves the inadequacy of the traditional understanding of security and shows that global changes in the environment create new conflicts, threats and challenges, and thus demonstrate the urgent need to look for new forms of cooperation based on international law for humanity survival and ensuring of sustainable development.

At least since the 1980s, a scholarly debate on the very meaning of security has structured the field of (Critical) Security Studies to a large extent (see Working Paper #1). Today, many new concept such as human security and societal security are prominent anchors in academic and political debates directing our attention to the non-military aspects of security, in particular to the manifold insecurities people (and not only the state) face. The call for energy security is one prominent example.

To attract international attention some terrorist groups use civil aviation as a target for violent attacks to spread their message. The response to these violent incidents is the implementation of a series of security measures. Aviation security has been present long before the catastrophic incidents of 9/11. The unexpected use of hijacked planes as lethal projectiles compelled aviation institutions to employ radical security changes. As time goes by, the efficiency of security systems is constantly being evaluated and upgraded to help avoid the repetition of past incidents and anticipate future attempted attacks. However, it is very difficult to indicate whether these systems are pre-empting threats and saving lives, or whether they are economically feasible. More often than not, the general public ignores the serenity and comfort obtained when security measures run efficiently, but they immediately become aware of the occasional failures of such systems when these occur. ; peer-reviewed

This essay adopts a sociological approach to security. It develops an international political sociology of securitypractices, subsuming elements from constructivist approaches to security, such as the Aberystwyth, Copenhagen, andParis approaches (Wæver 2004; c.a.s.e. collective 2006; Bigo 2008). Following the path of a collective intellectual,discussing in an interdisciplinary way security, liberty, migration, and development, this essay has been written by acollective group of five authors. This collective is part of a larger collective group, called the c.a.s.e. collective, whichhas already published a long manifesto providing a critique of traditional approaches to security, exclusively groundedin international relations and political science. We will not repeat here the different arguments against the Realist,Liberal, and English Schools of security studies as we prefer to build a new space for thought and discussion whichtakes what practices of security are and what they do seriously. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/published
