Abstract

This article assesses the security threats posed by non-traditional security challenges (NTS) to human security at the global level. NTS, such as an infectious disease like the current Covid-19, climate change, and natural disasters, have long opened Pandora’s box for civilizations across the continents. The ecological process in maintaining a healthy ecosystem and biodiversity has long experienced both dependent and interdependent relationships with humans and animals. Human security was established to develop an inseparable relationship with ecology and animals. This research finds that divisions in sovereign political units across the continents have taken attention away from the threats posed by both infectious diseases and the environment. The result is a reduction of human security at the global level. Thus, this study contributes by exposing infectious diseases and ecology as global common indicators that undermine global security. In addition, the study provides intellectual insights which can be used to theorize infectious diseases and the environment for global political leaders so the latter may create active defense mechanisms in the future.
