Abstract
The security-development nexus is increasingly vital because of the realization
that there can be no long-term security without development and vice versa. The
linkages between the two concepts have evolved over the last few decades to
eventually exhibit a certain convergence. The rise of the concept of human security
has also, by its very nature, implied closer links to development. Examining
structural violence and human needs, linkages between these two concepts can be
explored and policy implications suggested for the security-development nexus.
