In writing this report, the authors wish to provide both some fresh ideas, from outside of
government, about the concept of human security in practical terms for government officials, as
well as highlight some of the profound theoretical questions such a paradigmatic shift poses for
academics, particularly scholars of International Relations theory. While the ideas came out of
the discussions held, the organization of this material, and the themes drawn from the discussion
are the sole responsibility of the authors.
