Scholars and practitioners in humanitarian assistance, international development, human rights, and conflict resolution are increasingly recognizing the value of exploring the intersections between their distinct but related fields. The emerging human security paradigm combines this trend with an emphasis on the inclusive well-being of individuals, especially the most vulnerable or marginalized.
PRAXIS: The Fletcher Journal of Human Security provides a platform for cutting-edge research that explores the links between theory and practice. PRAXIS articles cover a range of human security issues from a cross-disciplinary perspective, with a focus on the dignity of the individual. Past articles have applied a human security lens to a variety of issues, including refugee repatriation, transitional justice, corruption, environmental degradation, international law, public health, aid reform, peacebuilding, gender issues, and youth engagement.
