This collection of essays rethinks the security paradigm in the
context of the War on Terror, providing a broad and systematic
analysis of the long-term sources of political, military and
cultural insecurity from the local to the global.
The authors present an analysis of the contemporary state of
violence that moves beyond identifying the immediate threats. They
explore the interconnections between globalization, conflict and
the threats to human security, including ecological and gender
insecurities, and examine the deeper sources of insecurity in order
to provide a stronger basis for mitigating violence and other forms
of insecurity in the world today, and thus to orient policy
decisions in relation to local, regional and global security
problems.
The volume is divided into four sections:
- reconceptualizing insecurity
- security and globalization
- the relationship between the local and theglobal
- post-conflict forms of recovery and reconciliation.
All of the chapters work to challenge the kinds of conceptions
of insecurity that are dominated by traditional discourses of war
and conflict, problematizing and rewriting sets of assumptions that
reflect significant contemporary shifts in debates on
insecurity.
Rethinking Security and Violence will be of strong importance to
students and scholars of international relations, security studies,
gender studies and globalization studies.
