  • The Security Lexicon from Westphalia to the Present a Cautionary Tale
    THE SECURITY LEXICON FROM WESTPHALIA TO THE PRESENT A CAUTIONARY TALE MAX G. MANWARING, PH.D. A new and dangerous dynamic is at work around the world today. That new dynamic involves the migration of some of the monopoly of political power (i.e., the authoritative allocation of values in a society) from the traditional nation-state to unconventional actors such as the Islamic State (ISIS), transnational criminal organizations, Leninist-Maoist insurgents, tribal militias, pri- vate armies, enforcer gangs and other modern mercenaries. These actors conduct their own political-psychological type of war against various state and other non-state adversaries. These violent politicized non-state actors are being ignored; or, alternatively, are being considered too hard to deal with. That misunderstanding must inevitably result in an epochal transition from traditional Western nation-state systems and their liberal democratic values to something else dependent on the values—good, bad, or non-existent—of the winner.1 To help civilian and military leaders, policy-makers, opinion-makers, and anyone else who might have the responsibility for dealing with modern conflict come to grips analytically with the security dilemma and other realities of the 21st century political-psychological environment, this paper seeks to do three things. In Part One, we outline a bit of essential history that takes us from the Westphalian Peace Treaty of 1648 to the present. In that context, we briefly consider a con- temporary example of the traditional military-centric approach to national and international security that is still alive and well. That is, Chinese military activity in the South China Sea.

    National Security and Constitutional Rights in Korea - National Security Law, Past and Present Park Won Soon, Human Rights Lawyer Chair, Executive Committee, PSPD Director, Beautiful Foundation As of 25 August, of the 99 political prisoners in detention, 54 were detained on charges under the National Security Law. Of these, the majority were arrested under Article 7, which punishes membership of organizations deemed to "benefit the enemy", improving relations with North Korea prompted debate on reform of the National Security Law. President Kim Dae-Jung apparently encouraged by his award of the Nobel Peace Prize, announced his support for revisions to the National Security Law, but opposition to reform in the National Assembly from both the GNP and the ULD prevented significant revisions. (Amnesty International Report 2001) 1. Introduction De Facto Constitution - The National Security Law The National Security Law (NSL) in Korea has been called as a de facto constitution. It meas the NSL was under no other laws including the Constitution. Even though it is inferior to the Constitution namely, no legal enforcement agencies and the court could not challenge unconstitutionality of the law in reality. Korean peninsula has been one of the powder magazine where small incident could lead to big armed conflict. As a matter of fact, in 1950, there broke out Korean war in which over 3 million people were killed. Since then, national security has been regarded as the most important and senstive agenda among Korean people. Basic freedom and human rights enshrined in the Constitution has been sacrificed in the name of national security.

Chief of Mission Priorities As we adopt this new Integrated Country Strategy, Portugal is reaping the benefits of a hard- won economic recovery while raising its international profile. The economy has returned to growth, while rating agencies’ elevation of Portuguese debt to investment grade will cut the cost of capital to finance further economic expansion. Effective Portuguese diplomacy has enabled Lisbon to punch above its weight in EU and global affairs. Portugal’s highly professional armed forces are looking forward to gaining new capabilities and to making a greater contribution to European, African, and Asian security through more deployments as Portugal makes the investments necessary to fulfill its Wales pledge to NATO. Coupled with Portugal’s avowed Atlantic orientation, all of these factors paint a picture of opportunity for

  • South Korea's National Security: Concepts, Threat Perceptions and Strategies
    9thBerlin Conference on Asian Security (BCAS) International Dimensions of National (In)Security Concepts, Challenges and Ways Forward Berlin, June 14-16, 2015 A conference jointly organized by Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP), Berlin and Konrad-Adenauer -Stiftung (KAS), Berlin Discussion Paper Do Not Cite or Quote without Author’s Permission Session I: National Security – Concepts and Threat Perceptions Seok-soo Lee Research Institute for National Security Affairs Seoul South Korea’s National Security: Concepts, Threat Perceptions and Strategies Seok-soo Lee Introduction The concept of national security began to capture attention since the World War II. Under the Cold war structure, which is defined by the acute military confrontation between the Western and Eastern Block1, security had been understood as military- related. Security is referred to as military security. During the period, strategic studies constituted a mainstream in security discussions. Here, strategic studies mean military security studies. Security was about the survival of sovereign states. State took center stage in security studies as a referent object and an actor to achieve security.’ In the Cold War era, the concept of ‘national security’ was dominantly built on the two elements: state and military threat. With the Cold War over, military threats became diluted and new threats loomed. Against this backdrop, broadening and deepening of security studies gained ground. Broadening has to do with diversification of security threats. The emergence of various
