Abstract
In recent years, security issues in developing countries have been the subject of a renewed and creative academic interest.1 This literature deals with the problem of the applicability of the national security concept as developed in advanced industrial countries to the situation of Third-World countries. Other areas of concern include the nature of threat perceptions and the responses needed to handle them, as well as the institutional arrangements necessary to evolve and implement an effective security policy.
