Non-traditional Security And Crisis Management Studies Security Of Beijing Olympic Games

In the 1950s and 1960s after the Second World War, two camps which were led by Soviet Union and U.S. dominated the main trend of world security situation. At the end of 1960s and the beginning of 1970s, both Soviet Union and U.S. were restricted by the nuclear terror balance which was built up on the basis of "destroyed by each other". The relations between East and West began to ease to some extent. The content of competition between the two camps changed from military field to the economic and social fields. Especially after the breakout of two oil crisis, the stagnancy and inflation of western economy, the economic status change between Japan and U.S., those things impelled the western governer to expand their security view to trade, financial, resources, and environment and so on.After the cold war, traditional security and nontraditional security coexisted. The nontraditional security, such as financial crisis, network information crimes, natural environmental deterioration, illegal weapon business, and aliment spread and drug trade, was very urgent. That affected world security and regional stability. The model of dealing with traditional security is outdated. We need new crisis management thoughts to deal with nontraditional security. In 2008, China will hold Olympic Games firstly. This will give a lot of challenges to China's crisis management. With the direction of new theory of crisis management, we can hold the Olympic Games peacefully. So it has important theoretical and practical meaning. Considering this, in the first chapter, from the concept of security, I study the concept and characteristics of security, traditional security and nontraditional security, and analyze the reasons of decline of traditional security and the increase of nontraditional security. In such great background, the importance of the safety insurance of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games was put forward and analyzed.It is the first time for China to hold Olympic Games in the history. As to the factors of great scale, many areas involved, complicated system, huge influence, those will bring more problems to the safety insurance. It is necessary to forecast the possible crisis for a safe Olympic Games of 2008. In the second chapter, the possible crises were forecasted. They are divided into four categories: natural calamity, accident disaster, public sanitation, social security. We should find out all the possible crises during the Olympic Games in order to get ready for the safety insurance.It is just a prediction to the possible crises during the Olympic Games. In order to hold the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games successfully, we should absorb all the advantages of former Olympic Games, especially the Sydney Olympic Games and Athens Olympic Games after 9.11 attacks. The safety insurance of Sydney Olympic Games and Athens Olympic Games cost lots of money. Their projects were very complicated. On the basis of successful experience of former Olympic Games, the safety system of Beijing Olympic Games should have its own characteristic, which is also suitable for China. This is the content of the third chapter.The successful and safe holding of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is a great challenge for China, which is also a large test for China. But it also provides a good opportunity to show China's new national image.
