The United Nations Development Programme describes the concept of human security as potentially revolutionary. Yet what does the concept mean in the context of Latin America? This article analyzes three of the central arguments made in the literature on human security supporting the use of this concept over others. I assess these arguments in terms of their consistency with the Argentine experience, and I argue that historical context and conceptual framing matter. That is, the persuasiveness of the concept of human security and the meaning it acquires in practice may vary depending on the historical context within which it is being used. The concept of human security may be a very useful tool in communicating the importance and urgency of broad security objectives within the international community. However, in Latin America, there are important reasons to be cautious about the adoption of the new concept
