流轉不息： 從輕小武器（SALW）流動檢視 全球化對人類安全之威脅
Revealing How Globalization Threats Human Security: In Light of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) Flows
摘要
本研究旨在透過檢視輕小武器之流動情況，藉以反映全球化如何對人類安全造成威脅。所謂全球化，大致上可被定義為一種包含相互連結或互賴、跨國流動的增加，以及時空壓縮（compression）等特性的一個過程；而人類安全則是相對於傳統安全，以人為中心的新安全觀與安全研究途徑。 在全球化帶來許多好處的同時，其負面效果則對人類安全造成威脅。當透過檢視輕小武器的流動情況，除了顯示輕小武器產品之種類多元，並且為廣泛種類的行為者所使用之外，其各式各樣的流動方式間實然暗藏許多問題；並且延續而來在其衝擊面上，顯示的是輕小武器蘊涵帶來各種直接與間接衝擊的潛力。 當回歸全球化如何威脅人類安全，以輕小武器的流動各面向相互對照呼應，則顯示出全球化形塑了威脅的環境特質與不安全的遠因、促使多種「跨國界」流動與威脅的出現、使行為者不再限於國家，並且在其所形塑的市場網絡中因商品間互相關聯而難以分割，以上種種全球化作用之負面效果影響人類安全。而若以聯合國開發計畫署（United Nations Development Programme, UNDP）的人類安全七面向作為依據檢視輕小武器帶來的各種衝擊，則顯示在人類安全之各個面向上皆受到威脅。

This research aims at discovering how globalization threats human security in light of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) flows. Globalization, generally can be defined as a process that contains increasing interconnectness, interdependence, transnational flows, and time-space compression. Human security is then a concept and research approach concerning about human-centred security (individuals as referent objects), in contrary to orthodox state-centred security. While globalization brings about lots of benefits, the negative impacts it brings do threat human security. By analyzing the ways and forms that SALW flows take, it suggests that, besides the fact that large quantity of SALW products are being produced and circulated annually, SALW flows (which take cirtain forms) in fact containing flaws. And, as the legacy of SALW flows, a variety of direct and indirect impacts had also been found to harm human lives. While returning to the very question that how globalization threats human security, by analyzing aspects of SALW flows, the result shows that globalization has shaped the environment conditions and the underlying causing factors of insecurity, prompted a variety of “cross-border” flows and threats, made actors (on world stage) no longer limited to sovereign states, and made products in the world market interrelated and inseparable. And finally if we analyse the impacts that SALW brings through UNDP’s seven human security aspects, the result shows that every aspect of human security could be under threat.
