Abstract

Security is a central concept and a necessary component for the continued existence of humankind. Security is at the fulcrum of the creation of numerous regional and international institutions, such as the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), United Nations (UN), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the European Union (EU). Security has always been given prominence in the academic disciplines of International Relations and Politics; however, starting with the seminal work of Buzan (1983), the concept of security began attracting a multiplicity of authors and researchers from disparate fields and different parts of the global community in the search of different, enhanced, and/or contemporary models of security away from traditional concepts of security that existed before the end of the pre-Cold War period.
