Issues in International Security

Abstract: As a coursework requirement, this paper discusses issues in international security. It employs desk research, precisely external desk research as one of the qualitative methods to dissect the topic.

Even though this paper did not exhaust all the thematic areas expected for issues in international security. However, it brings new knowledge that contributes to the discipline of security studies. It argues that the threats associated with international security are far different from the issues in international security. It further argues that the issues are a multiplicity of factors impeding or frustrating the fight against the threats posed to international security.

Conclusively, the paper closed on the identification of the issues to be the main causes of the threats. Therefore, the paper calls upon the actors in the theater of international security to take serious cognizance of the issues obstructing the prevention, protection, alleviation, or mitigation of the threats in international security.
