ABSTRACT

This chapter speaks to the broad question on how civil society organisations (CSOs) address the question of economic security. In particular, it looks at how these organisations, often referred to as Track 3, fit into the agenda of improving global governance by examining CSOs as part of the multilevel system of governance: organisations that are actively engaged in the overall quest of achieving human security. In doing so, this chapter brings into focus the dynamics between actors and processes in the constantly evolving conceptualisations of security.
