ZAVALETA HERNANDEZ, SANDRA KANETY. THE CONCEPT OF HUMAN SECURITY IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.1, pp.65-87. ISSN 1909-3063.

During the nineties, the transformations that took place in the international order as a result of the collapse of the Cold War, and the continuity of the power structures and mechanisms established since the second postwar period, would result in a complex process of restructuration of the global dynamics that had an impact in the design of security. With the beginning of the New World Order, the one-dimensional and one-directional security paradigm, rooted for more than four decades to conflict and military affairs, include in its meanings and understandings, multi-dimensional and multi-directional elements closely linked to issues related to development. From a critical approach to international politics, this paper aims to establish the relevant characteristics in international relations that contributed to develop an anthropocentric concept of security; multidimensional, universal, contextualized and integrated by interdependent and mutually vulnerable components: human security.

Keywords : Human Security; International Relations; International Security; Multidimensional Security; Post Bipolarity World.
