Exploring a Nexus of National and Human Security: Food and Energy Challenges in the U.S. Arctic
Changes in the U.S. Arctic are challenging both the national and human security dynamics of the region. Historically, the region's significance had been defined by national security concerns, but the emerging concept of human security has come to provide a useful framework through which to define and demonstrate the nexus between the two. This paper provides an overview of the relationship between national and human security and the concerns shared by individuals working in both areas, with a more narrowed focus on the interrelated issues of both food and energy security within the U.S. Arctic. Considering the substantial overlap of aspects of food and energy on both national as well as human security, an analysis of the relationships involving each provides meaningful and extended context of the term \"security\" for the Arctic region.

Routledge Handbook on Middle East Security
Routledge Handbook on Middle East Security provides the first comprehensive look at Middle East security issues that includes both traditional and emerging security threats.
Taking a broad perspective on security, the volume offers both analysis grounded in the ‘hard’ military and state security discourse but also delves into the ‘soft’ aspects of security employing a human security perspective. As such the volume addresses imminent challenges to security, such as the ones relating directly to the war in Syria, but also the long-term challenges. The traditional security problems, which are deep-seated, are at risk of being exacerbated also by a lack of focus on emerging vulnerabilities in the region. While taking as a point of departure the prevalent security discourse, the volume also goes beyond the traditional focus on military or state security and considers non-traditional security challenges.
This book provides a state-of-the-art review of research on the key challenges for security in the Middle East; it will be a key resource for students and scholars interested in Security Studies, International Relations, Political Science and Middle Eastern studies.

MOTIVATION AND SATISFACTION IN THE NATIONAL SECURITY ENVIRONMENT
This research has studied the relation between motivation and job satisfaction in a national security organization. Two questionnaires for motivation and professional satisfaction were used as assessment tools. The research group consisted of 80 militaries, respectively 80 civilian subjects representing the control group. Several types of relations were studied, considered relevant for the study objectives, such as: the relation between work motivation and management satisfaction and interpersonal relationships within the team, with respect to work organization and functional communication; the relation between the motivation for accomplishment through work and the degree of salary satisfaction, rewards and career advancement opportunities; the relation between the levels of general satisfaction and the motivation for accomplishment through work; the relation between the higher levels of satisfaction with work organization and functional communication, respectively with management and interpersonal relationships of the military group, compared to the control group of civilian employees. The results of this research have some practical value, advancing the possibility that some conclusions can be assimilated in the human resources policies of national security institutions, in order to optimize staff motivation and maximize performance.

From National Security To Human Security
National security has been a catchword in political language since the American ruling elites introduced the concept to justify the arms race and the Cold War. It is usually given top priority in state policies, above economic, social and other dimensions of welfare. While the end of the Soviet Union and the eclipse of communism as an ideology allowed the global expansion of capitalism to the benefit of the wealthy minorities, it was also to the detriment of the rest of society. This paper contends that the security and welfare of all individuals is more important than the narrow elitist concern for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the nation-state and analyses the conceptual evolution of the doctrine of human security.

The Dichotomy Of Enemies And Friends In World Politics
The evolution of the international system demonstrates the realistic view that states pursue national interests in a largely lawless global arena where only power counts. This paper looks at the major current rivalries between the US and China in the Asia-Pacific region, India, China and Pakistan in South Asia and between Saudi Arabia and Iran as well as the US and Russia in West Asia. On the other hand, it also highlights the gradual reconciliation processes between the US and Iran, Washington and Havana as well as the increasing bonds between China and Russia. It concludes by pointing out that despite the multipolar character of the current reality, the power struggle between the US and China, which evokes comparisons with the rivalry between Britain and Germany a century ago, is a dominant feature of the geopolitical map.
