We consider the contributions that the study of discourse and security can make to international efforts to improve conditions of human security through the study of discourses of security in local socio-cultural contexts. We begin by discussing an applied program of work conducted at the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) between 2007 and 2014. This program of work began by developing a cooperative approach to community Security Needs Assessments, and subsequently created a process of Evidence-Based Design to support UN staff in the explicit integration of local knowledge as a key resource in the design of security-related policies and programs. We describe how this work drew from the ethnography of communication, the practical challenges its developers encountered in rendering such knowledge program-relevant, and how this led them to conceptualize a focus on local strategies for the task of UN program design. We reflect on the potential of local strategies research (LSR) for addressing applied challenges in human security, what a LSR agenda on security could look like, and how this might be expanded in dialogue with the vernacular security approach to discourse and security
