“…From this context we then see gradually develop a number of works around of various aspects and issues of human security using a broad array of critical approaches (de Larrinaga and Turenne Sjolander 1998;Krause 2002;Beier 2003;Grayson 2004) including various contributions in the edited volume by MacLean, Black, and Shaw A Decade of Human Security: Global Governance and New Multilateralism (MacLean, Black, and Shaw 2006). Of particular note, are critical examinations from feminist perspectives of various dimensions of Canada's human security foreign policy agenda (Keeble and Smith 2001;Whitworth 2003;various contributions to Turenne Sjolander, Smith and Stienstra 2003;Turenne Sjolander and Smith 2005) as well as more specific feminist critiques around the concept itself Crosby 2003;Hoogensen 2005;Hoogensen and Stuvoy 2006).…”

Critical security studies is an established interest that brings together a variety of disciplines and theoretical approaches to bear on the ubiquitous deployment of security discourses and practices in the post-9/11 world. This article maps scholars working in critical security studies in Canada and addresses the potential of collaborative spaces for research of this community, particularly in contradistinction to the Paris and Copenhagen schools, as set out by the c.a.s.e. collective. Important issue clusters include: a concern with the post-colonial, particularly First Nations; environmental and ecological security, a network of issues surrounding the border, refugees, immigration, and multiculturalism; and human security, global governance, and intervention.

“…Positive security, following McSweeney, is an understanding of security that is based on an epistemology of enabling. 43 It creates 'secure spaces, building capacities and capabilities, and enabling', 44 it is about 'producing' security, 45 and it is 'the maintenance of just, core values'. 46 A central foundation for enabling or the creation of security is trust.…”

This article examines the challenges and contradictions between some of the leading conceptions of security within the field of International Relations (IR), from those stating that the concept can only be employed by the state with regard to immediate, existential threats, to those that see security as the foundation of social life or as a human good. This article continues a discussion that has taken place in the Review of International Studies regarding the development of positive security, examining the potential use of the terms ‘negative’ and ‘positive’ security to bring clarity to these diverging security perspectives and to argue for a multi-actor security approach. It is argued that positive security perspectives, which rely on non-violent measures, ensure an emphasis upon context, values, and security practices that build trust, and by use of a multi-actor security model, shows the dynamics between state and non-state actors in the creation of security.

“…During the initial stages of approaching the empirical field, such contextual aspects caused me to critically reflect on security as a negative concept. This enforced a positive perspective, whereby I began to ask not how insecurity is felt but how security is produced (see Hoogensen, 2005).…”

In ongoing discussions surrounding the issue of human security, the security of individuals has become entangled in conceptual debates that are preoccupied with notions of appropriate variables, measurements and issue areas. This article suggests and illustrates a basis for human security research that is distinct from such objectivist empiricism. A case study of crisis centres in northwest Russia is used to demonstrate that human security is not only a matter for objectified generalizations, but also a question of practices. Feminist security theory and the work of Pierre Bourdieu are used to address methodological concerns raised during fieldwork on crisis centres in northwest Russia. Three dimensions are discussed: the conceptualization of security for the specific-actor approach of crisis centres, the ways in which relevant empirical data are established, and the subsequent interpretation of such data. The discussion shows, first, that rethinking security for crisis centres reveals contingencies in the research process that are relevant to the establishment of human security knowledge; second, the practice of human security research reflects the fragility in the understanding and production of security in everyday contexts. Accordingly, when we examine human security, our analysis ought to be directed at security as an ambiguous practice.
