Humanitarian security in the context of contemporary threats: a theoretical and axiological analysis

This study introduces an axiological framework for addressing humanitarian security challenges in Central Asia. The region faces issues such as identity fragmentation, value disorientation, and ethical risks in digital environments, which cannot be solved by institutional or technical measures alone. Drawing on the theoretical contributions of Amartya Sen, Martha Nussbaum, Barry Buzan, and Manuel Castells, the model integrates value coherence, cultural continuity, education, digital literacy, and adaptive feedback mechanisms. Internalized values function as protective mechanisms that strengthen resilience against both traditional and emerging threats. Personal analytical observations highlight the importance of intergenerational value transfer, critical engagement with global norms, and locally rooted ethical discourse. The axiological immunity model offers a culturally sensitive and theoretically grounded approach to sustainable humanitarian security in contemporary Central Asia.
