Human Security Report Project
Thursday, January 21st, 2010This month, the Human Security Report Project (HSRP) was profiled in the Internet Scout Report (ISR). As many of you will already know, this project is based at the School For International Studies here at SFU. Here’s the report on this project from the ISR:
“The Human Security Report Project (HSRP) is based at Simon Fraser University in Canada, and it ‘conducts research on global and regional trends in political violence, their causes and consequences and presents its findings in a manner that is accessible to the policy and research communities, the media, educators and the interested public.’ The ‘About’ section states that the e-resources it provides through its website has effectively changed the way human security issues are understood and managed. The ‘Publications’ link on the left hand side menu provides access to the ‘Human Security Brief’ for 2005-2007, as well as to ‘Articles’, ‘Books’, ‘Book Chapters’, ‘Workshop Reports’ and ‘Opinion Pieces’. The categories of data used in the HSRP are fleshed out in the ‘Data Resources’ link on the left hand side of the page. The categories of data used are ‘Armed Conflict’, ‘Deadly Assault on Civilians’, ‘Terrorism’, and ‘Other Human Security Indicators’. The nine ‘Research Initiatives’ of the HSRP can be accessed on the right hand side menu.” [KMG]
