This Oxford Handbook is the definitive volume on the state of
international security and the academic field of security studies.
It provides a tour of the most innovative and exciting news areas
of research as well as major developments in established lines of
inquiry. It presents a comprehensive portrait of an exciting field,
with a distinctively forward-looking theme, focusing on the
question: what does it mean to think about the future of
international security? The key assumption underpinning this volume
is that all scholarly claims about international security, both
normative and positive, have implications for the future. By
examining international security to extract implications for the
future, the volume provides clarity about the real meaning and
practical implications for those involved in this field. Yet,
contributions to this volume are not exclusively forecasts or
prognostications, and the volume reflects the fact that, within the
field of security studies, there are diverse views on how to think
about the future. Readers will find in this volume some of the most
influential mainstream (positivist) voices in the field of
international security as well as some of the best known scholars
representing various branches of critical thinking about security.
The topics covered in the Handbook range from conventional
international security themes such as arms control, alliances and
Great Power politics, to "new security" issues such as global
health, the roles of non-state actors, cyber-security, and the
power of visual representations in international security. The
Oxford Handbooks of International Relations is a twelve-volume set
of reference books offering authoritative and innovative
engagements with the principal sub-fields of International
Relations. The series as a whole is under the General Editorship of
Christian Reus-Smit of the University of Queensland and Duncan
Snidal of the University of Oxford, with each volume edited by
specialists in the field. The series both surveys the broad terrain
of International Relations scholarship and reshapes it, pushing
each sub-field in challenging new directions. Following the example
of Reus-Smit and Snidal's original Oxford Handbook of International
Relations, each volume is organized around a strong central
thematic by scholars drawn from different perspectives, reading its
sub-field in an entirely new way, and pushing scholarship in
challenging new directions.
