This textbook introduces students to the sub-field of critical
security studies through a detailed yet accessible survey of
emerging theories and practices. This third edition contains two
new chapters - on 'Ontological security' and '(In)Security and the
everyday' - and has been fully revised and updated. Written in an
accessible and clear manner, Critical Security Studies: offers a
comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to critical security
studies locates critical security studies within the broader
context of social and political theory evaluates fundamental
theoretical positions in critical security studies against a
backdrop of new security challenges. The book is divided into two
main parts. Part I, 'Approaches', surveys the newly extended and
contested theoretical terrain of critical security studies:
constructivist theories, Critical Theory, feminist and gender
approaches, postcolonial perspectives, poststructuralism and
International Political Sociology, Ontological security, and
securitisation theory. Part II, 'Issues', examines how these
various theoretical approaches have been put to work in critical
considerations of environmental and planetary security; health,
human security and development; information, technology and
warfare; migration and border security; (in)security and the
everyday; and terror, risk and resilience. The historical and
geographical scope of the book is deliberately broad and each of
the chapters in Part II concretely illustrates one or more of the
approaches discussed in Part I, with clear internal referencing
allowing the text to act as a holistic learning tool for students.
This book is essential reading for upper level students of critical
security studies, and an important resource for students of
international/global security, political theory and international
relations.
