According to conventional wisdom, state security and civilian security are two separate concepts. Those who study state or national security will basically be categorized as scholars of international politics, while those who study civilian security criminologists. However, in the era of informationalization and globalization, one can hardly differentiate the boundary of these two levels of analysis. In view of the emerging unconventional warfare and the high degree of dependency of human beings on informationization, this paper tries to explore a new dimension of security studies that combines these two concepts. The author argues that the interdependence and the nature of embeddedness of the two levels of security under the threat of misuse of information technology necessitate the recognition of the vulnerability of separate security management. Learning about embedded security in the digital era might be the key to global governance of any transnational security issue. |
