Contemporary World Politics: Security in the Contemporary World

Question:

Which of the following is NOT a "Source" of security?

Options:

Alliance Building

Global Poverty

Balance of Power

Human Rights

Correct Answer:

Global Poverty

Explanation:

Global poverty is another source of insecurity. World population—now at 650 crore— will reach 700 to 800 crore within 25 years and may eventually level out at 900 to 1000 crore. Currently, half the world’s population growth occurs in just six countries—India, China, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh and Indonesia. Among the world’s poorest countries, population is expected to triple in the next 50 years, whereas many rich countries will see population shrinkage in that period.
