Human Insecurity is concerned with our refusal to confront the
millions of avoidable deaths of women and children each year. Those
missing millions are rarely the subject of conventional security
studies, yet such avoidable deaths are a vital part of the notion of
'security' more broadly understood. The book argues that such deaths
are caused by the man-made structures of neoliberalism and 'andrarchy'
and argues that the debate on human security can be reinvigorated by
looking at the unarmed, civilian role in causing the deaths of
millions of innocent people; from child deaths from preventable
disease to honour killings. David Roberts claims that by facing up to
this relationship between social structures and massive avoidable
human suffering we can create another system less prone to global
violence. This book is a powerful intervention in the debate on human
security and an urgent call to face up to our responsibilities to the
millions killed needlessly each year.
