HSRP: New Web Site
Via e-mail from the Human Security Report Project (HSRP):
HSRP has launched its new website. It can be accessed at www.hsrgroup.org.
The new website, which replaces four separate sites, is easy-to-navigate and provides access to all HSRP publications, research and data, as well as the eNewletter archive. The new site delivers improved usability, additional features, and significantly more content than the previous sites.
New Features
The new Security Stats section presents current and historical data on organized violence around the world and the related death tolls. It also provides data on the number of conflict onsets and terminations each year. Data are presented graphically, and in downloadable Microsoft Excel format, and are drawn from the same datasets used in the HSRP’s flagship publication, the Human Security Report, and the related Human Security Brief series. Security Stats will be expanded considerably in future.
Access to the HSRP’s eNewsletters, Human Security Research and Human Security News, has been greatly improved. In response to requests from subscribers, you can now search content in the News and Research Archive by country, topic, or date. Our new email subscription system should reduce the likelihood of newsletters being caught in email spam filters.
The new website has a page devoted to the debate generated by the release of the HSRP’s report on the “Shrinking Costs of War“. This page contains an overview of the debate, as well as the HSRP’s response to critiques from the International Rescue Committee and Les Roberts.
In the coming weeks, Russian and Japanese translations of the miniAtlas of Human Security will be available and will complement the existing English, French, and Spanish editions of this publication.
Additional HSRP Websites
The Afghanistan Conflict Monitor, Pakistan Conflict Monitor, and Human Security Gateway, which continue to grow in popularity, remain as separate websites.
