| Zusammenfassung: | Security can be intended as the "prevented harm of a potential threat" that could affect the human beings.According to the OECD, security in all its dimensions is fundamental to reducing poverty, protecting human rights and achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals. It concerns not only the stability of the state and the security of regimes. It also involves the safety, well-being and freedom from fear of a nation and its people. This articlestarts from the assumption that, today, security is increasingly hindered by new and unconventional threats, mainly brought on by non-State actors, that require a collective action and response. First, it argues that security and development are strongly interconnected and also that security is a governance issue, part of the decision-making process and the process by which decisions are (or are not) implemented within a particular state. After providing a brief overview of the UNICRI Security Governance Laboratory, the article goes into the details of the combination of "governance" and "security", two concepts that usually stand apart. It analyses the Security Governance approach conceived within the Lab that is applied to all its initiatives. In conclusion, it describes the main features of the project "Coordinating National Research Programmes and Policies on Major Events Security in Europe - EU-SEC II" to give an example of how the Security Governance approach is concretely applied and disseminated within the area of Major Events security. |
