Samtidigt förutsätter statsbildande ofta skarpa gränsdragningar som verkar stämma dåligt överens med behovet av rörlighet som finns hos folkgrupper i regionen. En omarbetad version av Buzans statsteori där Galtungs trehörningsstruktur om våldets uttryck brukas för att omdefiniera relationen mellan nationell och mänsklig säkerhet, anv

I Sverige och i Europa mer generellt kan ett skifte sägas ha ägt rum avseende hur asyl och flyktingar betraktas och omtalas.

Sedan 2002 har det funnits misstankar om att Irans kärnenergiprogram inte endast har ett civilt syfte utan att programmet även har militära syften.
