New Sources of threats:
- Terrorism: It refers to political violence that targets civilians indiscriminately. They use civilians as a weapon against national government to change a political context or condition they do not like. Example : Plane hijacking, planting bombs at crowded places.
- Violation of Human Rights: These are in the form of political, economic and social rights and the rights of colonized people or ethnic and indigenous minorities. Example– Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, Indonesian military’s killing of people in East Timor.
- Health Epidemics: Due to migration, business, tourism etc. epidemics like HIV–AIDS, bird flu, and SARS have rapidly spread across countries. By 2003, an estimated 4 crore people were infected with HIV–AIDS worldwide. Treatment of these epidemics have proved to be a major factor in driving the region backward into deeper poverty.
- Global poverty: Due to high per capita income and low population growth which makes rich states more richer, whereas low incomes & high population growth reinforce each other to make poor states more poorer.
- Global environmental degradation.
