Abstract
This chapter begins from the premise that people and states must be secure from the fear of violence at the local, national, regional, and international levels if an enabling environment for sustainable political and economic development is to be created. This means both that states must be adequately protected against external aggression and internal subversion, and that the lives of ordinary citizens must not be crippled by state repression, violent conflict, or rampant criminality.
