THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF HUMAN SECURITY AND INSECUR...

Experiences of security and insecurity are a part of everyday life for all of us. As societies
and social systems are becoming more complex  also the issues related to security and
insecurity are getting more diverse. While people in many societies are getting wealthier and
getting higher incomes and their lives are getting more globalised  the income disparities
within societies are increasing and population groups differentiating - also in terms of their
opportunities. Because the experiences of security and insecurity are context-specific  this
development challenges our perceptions and interpretations of these phenomena. Thus  an
analytical approach to these themes requires a structured view of how and in what situations
and why insecurity is perceived in different population groups and how it could be managed and
prevented. The view should be based on solid scientific research. This publication presents the
multidisciplinary basis for research on security and insecurity and some main results of a
research project on insecurity that lasted over three decades.
