Abstract: Human security and security sector reform are relatively new to the lexicon of foreign and security policy, having both emerged in the post-Cold War world of the 1990s. The two concepts have much in common but they are also very different. This article reviews the thinking that underlines the two concepts and examines the way they relate to one another. In particular, it looks at their commonalities and differences in terms of core function, relationship to the state and state security, objective, scope, actors, and the criteria that are associated with their successful implementation. By means of a few practical examples, the different discourses that typically characterize the two concepts are contrasted and compared.
