Security system reform in Nepal

Security has two meanings. First, it is used in everyday language to “describe a freedom from threat,” and second, it is employed in Security Studies to “capture the survival of the state” (Waever, 1995: 67). He acknowledges that dynamics at the individual and international level can and do play a significant role in influencing national security. He further states that “societal insecurity is the result of an increasing incapacity of states to protect the interests of their citizens resulting from the progressive dispersion of political power” (Waever, 1995:67). Klare and Daniel advocate a ‘‘world security” concept that accounts for the global nature of contemporary problems. To them, world security is “distinguished by the belief that security involves more than protection against military attack..ecological, economic and demographic trends pose serious challenges to [developed] countries. And even the less-developed “South” where the threat of armed attack remains constant, nonmilitary trends pose equal or greater threats to people’s security.” In fact, the intra-state conflicts have increased the vulnerabilities and have done more damages than the inter-state conflicts.
