What to Focus On

  • Security deals only with severe threats, not every danger.
  • Core values are the most important values of a state or society.
  • Human security shifts attention from the state to people.
  • Traditional security focuses mainly on military threats.
  • The main concern is protection of sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.
  • Deterrence prevents war; defence limits or ends war.
  • The Cold War caused about one-third of post-Second World War wars.
  • Most Cold War-linked wars were fought in the Third World.
  • Internal wars now make up more than 95% of armed conflicts.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Security means protection from every kind of problem, danger, or discomfort.

Traditional security deals only with external war between states, so internal violence is not part of it.

Deterrence and defence mean the same thing.

Memory Tips

Security means freedom from threats, but only extremely dangerous threats to core values count

Traditional security focuses mainly on military threats from other states

The three basic responses to war are deterrence, defence, and surrender

Balance of power is used to prevent one country from becoming too strong
