"This article investigates the character of collective perceptions of security in the Renaissance. In addition to the findings of conceptual history, an illustration will be used. Besides the concern for salvation and protection from violence and injustice, public welfare was the task of a good government in material terms as well (provision of food, infrastructure). It also comprised the prevention of natural hazards. Legitimation strategies of those who governed and the needs of those who were governed had - according to the region - an impact on the development of specific ways of dealing with natural hazards. 'Human security' thus played a part in state-building processes." (author's abstract)... view less

"Der Beitrag fragt nach dem Charakter kollektiver Vorstellungen von Sicherheit in der Renaissance. In Ergänzung zu Befunden der Begriffsgeschichte wird ein Bildzeugnis herangezogen. Neben der Sorge um das Seelenheil und dem Schutz vor Gewalt und Unrecht war die Daseinsvorsorge auch in materieller Hinsicht (Ernährung, Infrastruktur) Aufgabe einer guten Regierung. Sie hat auch die Abwehr von Naturgefahren umfasst. Legitimierungsstrategien der Regierenden und Bedürfnisse der Regierten wirkten in je Region unterschiedlicher Weise bei der Entstehung spezifischer Formen des Umgangs mit Naturgefahren mit. 'Human security' spielte insofern eine Rolle bei Staatswerdungsprozessen." (Autorenreferat)... view less
