Post-cold war international environments had started revamping the global political order where the traditional notion of territorial security has been getting increasingly irrelevant. While conflicts in kinetic domain are persistent in some form, the broader concept of security highlights gravity of constantly evolving non-traditional threats. This emerging challenge, primarily categorized among the non-military threats, has caused a functional dilemma for the national security apparatus. Apparently, National Intelligence Community (NIC) is the most viable mechanism to anticipate, identify and forecast the non-traditional security threats. However, without undertaking necessary reforms, conventionally trained and organized NIC seems least prepared for the evolving challenges. It is, therefore, imperative that the intelligence agencies are adequately transformed and structured for the impending task.</p> Muhammad Ajmal Abbasi Copyright (c) 2025 ASIAN Journal of International Peace & Security (AJIPS) http://ajips.fairlips.org/index.php/ajips/article/view/2025-vol-09-issue-2-non-traditional-security-paradigm Mon, 02 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000
