Abstract

National security is not an easily defined concept. Over time, technological advances, globalization, and climate change have changed our perceptions of national security and how we approach policies to effectively contain potential hazards. This work aims to examine the emergence of zoonotic disease and the implications climate change has on humans and animals, the theories of international relations and their usefulness in formulating strategy, and why biodefense measures should be made priority in national security policy.
