Abstract
This chapter argues that modern-day global challenges invite us to rethink the meaning of the concepts of security and safety. While these two concepts have long been seen as rather distinct, both in academia and in practice there is a need to integrate the two. This chapter provides reasons why such integration is relevant and important, and provides insights into the consequences of the rise of global security and safety issues for the governance of these issues.
