On the other hand, cohabitative security also emphasizes that the enduring relevance of the state does not make it an exclusive referent of security. As argued, the contested legitimacy and limitations of some states suggest that government-defined security policies and strategies are not always aligned with the security interests of individuals and societies. Accordingly, national security cannot be simply equated with state security. While it remains the most influential agent of political organization, the state has to co-exist with a host of inter-state and intra-state entities, thereby creating an intricate web of authority and power configurations (Sahni 2008; Wibben 2008; Watson 2011).
