Abstract

The article aims to capture the dynamics of contesting security in Southeast Asia and examines how states and nonstate actors have responded to the changing nature of the security environment. The argument here is that in spite of structural constraints and problems with conceptual clarity, human security is finding a place in the regional security discourses. Though found along the margins of subaltern security discourses, human security is the concept that embodies the security concerns of societies; its argument is from the standpoint of the most vulnerable, who can articulate their security in their own terms, without being excluded and alienated. Civil-society organizations have been pivotal in framing human security through their transnational linkages and work in human rights and development.
