ORIGINILE DIMENSIUNII SOCIALE A SECURITĂŢII: INSTITUIREA ORGANIZAŢIEI INTERNAŢIONALE A MUNCII
THE MAKING OF THE INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION AS A REIFICATION OF THE SOCIAL DIMENSION OF SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: The current debates focusing on a deeper and wider understanding of the security concept seem to revolve around theoretical and factual developments starting with 1945 and especially with 1989. The historical approach proposed by this paper attempts to expand the time horizon to an older peace arrangement: the Versailles Treaty. Taking into account empirical evidence and approaching conceptual debates, it argues that the security’s conceptual rationale – peace and conflict – was long ago treated from a social perspective. The origins of the social dimension of the security concept may thus be traced back to the International Labor Organization and the process that led to its inclusion in the Versailles Treaty
