Human security: A shotgun approach to alleviating human misery?. Yuen Foong Khong Global Governance, 7(3):231, September, 2001.
abstract   bibtex   
Since the 1980s, the notion of security has been progressively broadened to incorporate such areas as economic privation, environmental degradation, and gender discrimination. Khong sketches out the three major pitfalls of well-intentioned attempts to "securitize" the individual human being–generating false priorities, generating false hopes, and proceeding on false causal assumptions.
