MILESTONES OF HUMAN SECURITY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE XXI CENTURY

Abstract

Human security stands as a favourite subject of many debates and analyses. A world wherein overall security exists is just a dream. But nothing can stop this dream from changing into reality. That depends on political leaders, as well as on each individual. The aim of this article is to overview some theoretical approaches to human security and to present the human development index calculated for the European Union states and some main aspects of human security components in the European Union. The goal of this analysis is two fold: to present some aspects that are remarkable for the human security framework in the European Union at the beginning of the XXI century and also a modest milestone for this type of analyses
