This paper begins with a discussion of the concept and processes of globalization. It then looks briefly at the principal socio-economic, political and institutional consequences of accelerated globalization. These consequences are brought together to assess their impact on human security. Some of the principal effects of decreased human security are outlined before considering policy and institutional reforms to ameliorate individual security. In view of the vast scope of the themes covered in the paper, it is only possible for the author to consider the broad picture of globalization.
