Keywords:
human security, world order, globalization, international relations, human rights, sustainable developmentAbstract
This article explores the evolution of the human security concept as one of the key paradigms in global history and international relations. The study analyzes the historical stages of the development of the concept of human security-from traditional state-centered approaches to modern human-centered models. It emphasizes that understanding human security as a multidimensional system encompassing political, economic, social, and environmental factors is essential for achieving sustainable peace and stability. The article draws lessons from world history to demonstrate that genuine global progress depends on the protection of human dignity, equality, and rights, not solely on geopolitical balance or military power.
