National Versus Human Security: Au stralian and Canadian Military Interventions\, with Greg M acCallion

Light refreshments offered. Please RSVP.

< p>Dr Gregory MacCallion will conduct a presentation of findings for his ent itled: ‘Human security is dead\; long live human security’. By examining tw o military interventions that have defined the post-Cold War period\, Somal ia (1992-1995) and Afghanistan (2001-2014)\, Dr MacCallion argues that for Australia and Canada\, the concept of human security works better in practi ce than it does in theory. For when human security was first advanced in 19 94\, debates raged. It was argued that the concept needed an agreed and art iculated definition before it could have policy relevance or applicability.

Dr MacCallion argues that the core concept of human security has alt ered states’ understanding of traditional national security during the impl ementation of military interventions. The experience of Australia and Canad a over this period demonstrates that the concept of human security is becom ing more relevant to states\, and their policy makers and military planners \, as they conduct military interventions.

The book\, Nationa l Versus Human Security: Australian and Canadian Military Interventions\, draws on extensive primary research\, including over 70 original in terviews with Prime Ministers (John Howard\, Brian Mulroney)\, Defence Mini sters (John McCallum\, Brendan Nelson)\, Foreign Ministers (Bill Graham\, G areth Evans\, Alexander Downer)\, Chiefs of Defence (Peter Gration\, Johnat han Vance)\, along with input from commanders in the field\, diplomats and development workers. The research provides unprecedented access to the key actors and decision makers who shaped the political articulation and implem entation of these missions. Dr MacCallion’s presentation will overview the book and also introduce the new way forward for human security.
