Abstract
This paper attempts to explore the relevance of new security concerns in the post Cold War security dialogue. This project is split in to two parts. The first part is a brief summary of what have been termed new security concerns. The second part is an empirical analysis of whether these security concerns have made it out of academic discussion and in to the mass media and political dialogue. This was determined via two sources: The New York Times and Presidential State of the Union Addresses from 1949 - 2007. Using The New York Times, the time periods 1980-1985, 1990-1995, and 2000- 2005 were analyzed using definitions of traditional security concerns and non-traditional security concerns to determine how many of each type were present in the different time periods. The same was done for the State of the Union Addresses. The data showed that there has been a progression away from non-traditional security concerns since the end of the Cold-War; however, not all new security concerns were represented evenly.
