Many countries have derived enormous economic benefits from the end of the Cold War. Yet, the income gap between the industrialized and developing worlds has continued to widen. This trend has been compounded in some countries by internal conflict and state failure. At the same time, new security threats have emerged, including an increase in transnational crime and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Armed conflict has taken on a different shape and is often rooted in religious or ethnic discord.
Growing international recognition of human cost of conflict, in addition to other post-Cold War developments, has led the international community to reexamine the whole concept of security. This evolution in the perception of international security has resulted in a new concept of "human security." Human security recognizes that democratic development, human rights and fundamental freedoms, the rule of law, good governance, sustainable development and social equity are as important to global peace as are arms control and disarmament.
Various issue areas in human security emerged as paramount as the economic crisis in Asia came to dominate Asia during the last years of the twentieth century. They include political and socio-economic insecurity; intra-state ethnic conflict and involuntary migration; drug-trafficking and transnational crime; environmental degradation; and the transfer of small arms and light weapons.
Human security encompasses a wide array of complex issues that are interconnected with each other and thus demand knowledge and information for policy-makers to identify their state interests and recognize the latitude of actions deemed appropriate in specific issue-areas of human security. Thus, an international epistemic community needs to be formed with Korea's initiative to deal with newly emerging human security issues in the Asia-Pacific.
If epistemic communities on human security help define the self-interests of a state, then, a coalition among the like-minded countries can be built. At this stage, government officials will try to make issue-based coalitions with other countries to establish allies in many fields of human security. Here, Korea can find some rooms for international cooperation depending on issues.
Rapid information exchange could be used to strengthen such activities as addressing human rights abuses or international crime, areas where the rapid exchange of information across borders is essential. The strategy could also play a role in helping to establish free media and counter hate propaganda, and so bolster democracy and reduce likelihood of conflict in bolster democracy and reduce the troubled regions. Tackling the problem of food security is another area which could benefit from enhanced information networks as experts and information sources could be assessed quickly, facilitating the delivery of advice and knowledge.
One of the stated aims of the first meeting of the ARF in 1994 was "the enhancement of political and security cooperation within the region as a means of ensuring a lasting peace, stability and prosperity for the region and its peoples." However, the financial crisis in Asia has proven that regional security arrangements are not well organised to handle a prolonged socio-economic shock. The imminent task the ARF faces is to prevent the socioeconomic effects of the financial crisis of Asia from developing into threats to human security. The ARF should identify the risks to security arising from economic, social and environmental problems and discuss their causes and potential consequences.
Human security, most of all, is rooted upon protection of human rights, Human rights and regional security issues are inextricably linked. The security of nation states begins with the security of civil society of which they are composed. The security problems that beset the region-notably in Cambodia, North Korea, East Timor, and Myanmar-are the projected shadow of human rights violations. Conflicts cannot be resolved, confidence cannot be built and multilateral cooperation cannot be strengthened unless regional security issues are addressed at their root cause - violations of human rights. Thus, the violation of human rights needs to be prevented.
The concepts of "human security" and "global governance" can raise perplexing questions. Whereas human security is concerned primarily with individual welfare conditions, global governance focuses on generalized rules of international regimes. To juxtapose these two concepts into a single thematic sweep may be considered too ambitious at best, or foolhardy at worst. But we are at a critical juncture in human history in which the forces of globalization can tip us toward either more human forms of governance or growing global gaps that will turn the world into islands of riches in oceans of structural poverty, resentment, and violence. Globalization of the world economy and society is increasingly calling for a broader consideration of security to include such humans rights as political, socio-economic, cultural, and environmental security.
The opening of a new century has always served as a symbolic turning point in the history of human civilization. When cooperation is accumulated at the regional level, this will contribute to getting closer to global governance. The Asia-Pacific region is at a historical juncture between the roads to self-destruction and self-renewal. Even if the region has been hit by the financial crisis, it will have renewed opportunity of another take-off when it deals effectively with the root causes and effects of the financial crisis. This is the mission of the epistemic community on human security, which will determine the guiding principles of human security and promote regional cooperation through multilateral organizations in a future-oriented manner.
