| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The empirical research in this issue explores sources of security and insecurity to reveal paradoxical relationships and dangerous assumptions. Drawing on this research and earlier findings about international and intra-state security, I argue that inclusion can drive insecurity and exclusion can support security. It is normatively appealing to believe that inclusion increases security in ways that benefit humans and polities and that exclusion decreases security. Authors here, however, find that it is not necessarily so. The key to increasing security as a positive good lies in understanding the actors' interests and goals. Some states and non-state actors may want to increase security in ways that do not benefit all. Others may profit by increasing insecurity. Some actors may seek inclusion while others prefer exclusion of self or other. The articles in this issue underline the importance of accurately identifying and examining assumptions in scholarship and policymaking. |
