Illuminating the Arts-Policy Nexus 
Illuminating the Arts-Policy Nexus is a fortnightly series of articles on the role of art in public policymaking. This series invites WPI fellows and project leaders as well as external practitioners to contribute pieces on how artists have led policy change and how policymakers can use creative strategies.
In Every Nation for Itself: Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World, World Policy Institute Senior Fellow Ian Bremmer illustrates a historic shift in the international system and the world economy—and an unprecedented moment of global uncertainty.

Human Security
Tuesday, October 28
Global security today goes far beyond the traditional military definition. Climate change, migration, environmental degradation, resource shortages, and economic issues all have components that affect national and global security. High food prices lead to riots; energy shortages lead to wars; environmental catastrophes intensify existing conflicts; poverty makes people vulnerable to terrorist recruiters; humans are smuggled across borders by criminal elements; persecuted minorities We ignore these “human security” elements at the risk of missing some of the most serious challenges of our time; understanding them and responding appropriately is essential to preventing and resolving conflict. “Hard” military power has its limits: it cannot succeed without significant concurrent efforts in the "softer" area of human security. Broadly defined, human security includes freedom from want and fear. How can we better understand the role of human security in ensuring the success of “hard” security policies? What should the respective roles be for the military, the private sector, aid organizations, national governments, and multilateral peace-keeping authorities in coordinating a traditional security and human security strategy? How should the next U.S. president incorporate human security into policies toward Afghanistan, Iraq, and other conflict zones?
