The overlap between health and security is substantial reflected by the emergence of the human security agenda, which provides for the consideration of health within international politics. However, we have no tool to explain or illuminate the lack of security in countries such as Malawi, where an entire nation is crumbling under the combined forces of disease and poverty. The concept of human security could form the analytical framework for understanding, and thus acting on, situations where countries are facing massive threats to development from public health sources, which currently are not recognized in traditional security forums
