Abstract
After the Cold War, especially with the emergence of globalization, a new discourse has shaped in the literature of international law and relations which reflects global interdependence, mutual interaction of the structure of security and development and integration of regional and international actors in managing the current challenges that global society is confronted with. The dimensions of this discourse are as follows: a) With respect to cold war era, nature of threats has changed. b) The resources of threats have progressed or been diverted. c) The response to threats has diversified. d) Security structures and actors have typologically varied. e) The values interpretation system has changed. By taking into consideration the diversified aspects of the new discourse on development as a social dimension of security, then the very nature of change in development is associated with palpable possibilities like modification of social interaction patterns, the structure and content of international law, decision-making processes, the role of actors, and participation logic. Finally this analytical article redefines the development issue in light of the content of UN reforms and the report of the Secretary General's High Level Panel.
