Security: A New Framework for Analysis is a book by Barry Buzan, Ole Wæver and Jaap de Wilde. It is considered to be the leading text outlining the views of the Copenhagen School of Security Studies. The work addresses two important conceptual developments: Buzan's notion of sectoral analysis and Ole Wæver's concept of 'securitization'.[1] The book argues for an intersubjective understanding of security and that our understanding of security should be widened to include issues such as environmental security and threats to identity (societal security).
