Roundtable : Voices from PakistanThe
roundtable on Non-Military Variables of Security- Voices from Pakistan, held on
13th February 2001 sought to provide a forum in which the views of a
group of young Pakistani scholars and professionals on the issue of human
security could be articulated. Indeed Human Security in the New Millennium had
been the overarching theme of WISCOMP’s first summer symposium, and this
roundtable, highlighting the views of the younger generation of Pakistan, was
expected to contribute further towards an ongoing dialogue.
Given the low social and economic indicators in all states of South Asia there is a growing recognition of the necessity of moving from an exclusive preoccupation with “national” security, towards a more inclusive concept of “human” security. It is in this context that the Roundtable assumed special significance. WISCOMP believes that similar exchanges between Indians and Pakistanis in future will go a long way in nurturing the idea of a South Asian civil society where the primary concern is how people live and breathe in a society, how their basic needs are met, how freely they exercise their many choices and voice their various concerns and how much access they have to the economic resources and social opportunities.
