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-Smith of the University of Queensland and Duncan
Snidal of the University of Oxford, with each volume edited by a
distinguished pair of specialists in their respective fields. 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 the original Reus-Smit and
Snidal The Oxford Handbook of International Relations, each volume
is organized around a strong central thematic by a pair of scholars
drawn from alternative perspectives, reading its sub-field in an
entirely new way, and pushing scholarship in challenging new
directions.
