Framework to Global Peace in the Era of Globalization and COVID-19

Abstract

Global security landscape is unthinkably different than what it was about 60 years ago. Non-state actors, the creations of new states and access to information technology and globalization have made the world a more dangerous place. Human security is people-centered. It is concerned with how people live and breathe in a society, how freely they exercise their many choices, how much access they have to market and social opportunities-and whether they live in conflict or in peace Human security is adversely affected when economic marginalization of the general population is fueled by the rising militancy of local strongmen who have forfeited an economically advantageous patron-client infrastructure due to economic and political liberalization measures. Terrorism as a mega threat affecting the decline of global peace is exacerbated by the lack of concrete international frameworks governing cyber-security and the development of information and communication technology (ICT), which is fully autonomous systems that can select and fire upon targets on their own without any human intervention. Climate change challenges, civil unrest, environmental pollution and now the ravaging power of Corona virus pandemic (COVID-19) have added to the security threats of our time. These multi-facets securities challenges no doubt are increasingly becoming serious threats to global socio-economic and political development of our world. However, with the increasing power of globalization, ICT to connect the world, availability of enormous data (big data) around us and with the rapid changes in the world around us, it is more important now than ever to establish the framework for sustainable approaches to mitigate these global security threats. Therefore, this research aim at surveying various threats to global peace security, it causes, and it effects and provides various frameworks for sustainable approaches to mitigate its effect on the global world.
