| Summary/Abstract |
The end of the cold war has changed the notion of security. In classical terms, security primarily means to defend and safeguard the territorial integrity and autonomy of the nation. In other words security envisages protection and welfare of the state from other neighboring states. But the process of globalization has changed the whole world “a global village”. States and communities have come together to promote their shared interests either forgetting or ignoring their differences. This changed environment has also led changes in the concept of security. The scope of the studies on security has therefore expanded with the emergence of diverse concepts like cooperative security, comprehensive security, human security, non-traditional security.
