Abstract

ABSTRACT The 2022 UNDP Special Report on human security marks an overdue return to this focus in Human Development Reports work. It adds solidarity to the established headline strategies for human security, namely protection and empowerment. While it does not theorise solidarity far, nor connect much to relevant literatures, nor explore implications in detail, it provides an opening of doors. We comment first on the Report’s general significance. It presents itself as a rethinking of human security; it reflects also a rethinking of human development in the Anthropocene and a re-articulation of the core rationale of the United Nations system. Second, we consider how the report presents solidarity: as a required commitment to others, globally; as implication of interconnectedness; and as a required response to uncertainty. Third, we note that the report is only a beginning; it is not yet connected to generations of solidarity thinking and practice nor to present-day streams. Fourthly, we review policy implications proposed in the Report and suggest areas for next-stage attention.

团结与人类不安全:解读和延伸HDRO的2022年人类安全特别报告

《2022年联合国开发计划署人类安全特别报告》标志着人类发展报告工作迟来的回归这一重点。它为既定的人类安全主要战略，即保护和赋权，增添了团结。虽然它没有将团结理论化得太远，也没有与相关文献联系得太多，也没有详细探讨其影响，但它提供了一扇大门。我们首先评论该报告的一般意义。它表现为对人类安全的重新思考;它还反映了对人类世人类发展的重新思考和对联合国系统核心理论的重新阐述。其次，我们考虑报告如何呈现团结:作为对全球其他国家的必要承诺;作为相互联系的暗示;作为对不确定性的必要回应。第三，我们注意到报告只是一个开始;它还没有与几代人的团结思想和实践联系起来，也没有与当今的潮流联系起来。第四，我们回顾了报告中提出的政策影响，并提出了下一阶段关注的领域。

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Development and Capabilities: A Multi-Disciplinary Journal for People-Centered Development is the peer-reviewed journal of the Human Development and Capabilities Association. It was launched in January 2000 to promote new perspectives on challenges of human development, capability expansion, poverty eradication, social justice and human rights. The Journal aims to stimulate innovative development thinking that is based on the premise that development is fundamentally about improving the well-being and agency of people, by expanding the choices and opportunities they have. Accordingly, the Journal recognizes that development is about more than just economic growth and development policy is more than just economic policy: it cuts across economic, social, political and environmental issues. The Journal publishes original work in philosophy, economics, and other social sciences that expand concepts, measurement tools and policy alternatives for human development. It provides a forum for an open exchange of ideas among a broad spectrum of academics, policy makers and development practitioners who are interested in confronting the challenges of human development at global, national and local levels.
