Security is multidimensional because individual welfare is more central to policy-making than it was fifty years ago. The task of the authors is to try and capture the security’s new –or newly discovered– multidimensionality, and to emphasize the themes that have been most important in the current security discourse and in the shaping of national security strategies and defence policies. Instead, they identify issues and pose or imply questions: What are the likely threats for global security with in near future? How conventional they are? What are the new areas of threat? How is the threat of international terrorism likely to change over the next few years? What are the possible new developments? How should we think about the linkage between terrorism and WMD?
