Indeed, whilst arguing that international sanctions against Iraq have affected detrimentally the quality of life of its citizens, the government of that state has not used allocated resources from oil to redress problems in health or education.

Those opposed to alternative conceptions of security (such as Human Security, Critical Security, feminist or environmental security) have often been critical of these approaches on the basis of their lack of consistency with the practical world of international politics, or their inability to be feasibly implemented. For example

  • Burke , Anthony . 2002 . In fear of Security: Australia's Invasion Anxiety , Sydney : Pluto Press . This position by the Australian government was most notably represented in the stand-off involving the MV Tampa in August-September 2001.

Of course, terrorist groups and drug traffickers are also non-state actors, and for this reason alone non-state actors are not by definition “progressive” actors. Other authors have pointed to the increasing co-option of NBAs by the state (The Economist, “NGOs' (19 January 2000), pp. 25-27), as well as the potential for states to shirk some level of responsibility to NSAs
