THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN GLOBAL SECURITY

In this study, the authors contend that in our globalized world the stability of any individual state (irrespective of its size and importance) plays a critical role in the stability of the entire international system. There are multiple ways to achieve state stability, whether through western-style democracies or through other forms of good and effective governance that are in keeping with local cultures and histories. Regardless of whichever system is used, it is critical that there are certain minimal criteria of governance that are adhered to and must include human dignity, equality, and prosperity. This book contributes a timely analysis of ways to achieve and the methods required to maintain global stability and provides a valuable tool to anyone who is interested in true and lasting transnational security.

Née en 1968 au Liban d'une mère libanaise chiite et d'un père journaliste et écrivain syrien farouchement laïc, rebelle à toute oppression, Darina al-Joundi raconte la folie de la guerre civile qui a ravagé le Liban durant dix-sept ans et qui lui a donné à vivre ses plus belles amours et ses pires désillusions.

Ligne 8, direction Balard : Liberté - Bastille - Filles du Calvaire - Strasbourg Saint-Denis - Opéra. Ligne 3 : Père Lachaise... Chaque jour des millions d'hommes et de femmes se croisent dans le métro parisien, les yeux rivés à l'écran de leur téléphone mobile, pressés d'arriver à destination. Et pourtant, il y a tant à voir et tant à vivre dans ce monde souterrain. Tant de livres à déchiffrer sur les visages que l'on côtoie. Tant de scènes à filmer avec la caméra de l'empathie. Tant de jeunes et de vieux, de malades et de bien-portants, de riches et de pauvres emportés dans le même voyage. Il fallait un regard de poète pour mettre au jour l'inépuisable richesse de ces transports en commun. Ce regard, c'est une femme venue de Syrie qui nous l'offre, dans ces Métropoèmes écrits directement en français. La poésie aussi est un service public.

The authors believe that national security is no longer simply national but also transnational and transcultural in its scope, and globalization has a significant role to play in the development of security and strategic agendas at all levels. The pursuit of global security is a transnational phenomenon which is heightened and potentially hindered by the globalization process. This publication proposes an alternative new security principle, which the editor believes is central to the understanding and attainment of lasting security and peace in today's globalized world. The principle, termed "justice-based penta-security," states that "in a globalized world, security is a pentagon of human, environmental, national, transnational and transcultural security, and global security and the security of any one state or culture cannot, therefore, be achieved without good domestic and global governance that guarantees security through justice for all individuals, states, and cultures." Through an examination of the economic, political, environmental, societal, and military links between globalization and securiy, this book provides insight into a complicated and diverse problem while proposing solutions to some of the more pressing issues that states are currently facing. This book contributes an innovative new theory and a unique perspective to the vast literature on globalization and security in a way never before achieved, making it a vital reference to any comprehensive study of these issues.
