title: An analysis of South Africa's official perceptions of human security 1994-2009 and their impact on the SANDF
abstract: South Africa adopted a human security orientation at the start of its democratic epoch in 1994. Human security is an approach to security which prioritises the protection of the people over security of the state. One of its central tenets is that security is best achieved through development as opposed to arms procurement. Against this backdrop, the principal objective of this study was to critically analyse and describe South Africa s official perceptions of human security in the period 1994-20
