How Could We Turn a Good Idea Into an Effective Action? From Human Security to Interpersonal Securitization

Summary/Abstract: The concept of "human security" enjoys academic recognition, being used in the vocabulary of political science, international relations theories, strategic security studies etc. In these circumstances, why would we need a new concept? The point of this essay is that, although the term "interpersonal securitization" cannot replace that of "human security", it can specify it explicitly. As a predicate of human security, the "interpersonal securitization" offers a semantic clarification, a conceptual foundation, a deepening of reflection and, through all these, an discursive pragmatic finality. By rethinking human security as interpersonal securitization, we can obtain a non formal, personalized and operational understanding of human security
