Towards the 21st Century: A New Global Security Agenda?

“This paper sets out to identify some of the global sources of insecurity and their implications for national security policy formulation. While the discussion revolves around the global security agenda, in many instances this also forms the backdrop for the discussion of Southern African security and its implications for the South African National Defence Force. The reader is forewarned that the article is more tentative than conclusive, hoping to raise more questions than to provide answers and in so doing to act as a catalyst for debate.”
