| dc.description.abstract | Most spoken effects of the 9/11
Chapter seem to fade away with the new
development of the COVID 19 pandemic situation
and beyond today. Priorities for security does not
limit to terrorism where the world is discussing
pandemic security, economic security,
environmental security, and social security at
large. However, it is not a new concept, and some
countries are adopting similar strategies to
manage their national interests since national
security always depends on each nation’s
interests. Hence, it is pertinent to study the
holistic approach to national security and see
whether it is suitable for developing nations like
Sri Lanka. First, Researchers selected countries
already adopted a holistic approach to their
national security for background study. Having
considered Chinese, Indian, Pakistan, Singapore,
USA, and United Nations (UN) approaches to
national security, researchers decided ten
important components to analyze as the
literature. Moreover, the Global Peace Index (GPI)
2019 was used to select the most peaceful,
average, and least peaceful five countries each to
analyze whether those results have any impact on
their approaches in particular. Finally, threat
perception was taken into consideration to select
the most suitable aspects to form a holistic
approach to the national security of Sri Lanka and
suggested an appropriate holistic approach to Sri
Lanka by considering those factors and the
present situation. | en_US |
