Abstract

The concept of "human security" enjoys academic recognition, being used in the vocabulary of political science, international relations theories, strategic security studies etc. In these circumstances, why would we need a new concept? The point of this essay is that, although the term "interpersonal securitization" cannot replace that of "human security", it can specify it explicitly. As a predicate of human security, the "interpersonal securitization" offers a semantic clarification, a conceptual foundation, a deepening of reflection and, through all these, an discursive pragmatic finality. By rethinking human security as interpersonal securitization, we can obtain a non formal, personalized and operational understanding of human security
