How do we know when we are investing wisely in security? Answering
this question requires investigating what things are worth securing
(and why); what threatens them; how best to protect them; and how
to think about it. Is it possible to protect them? How best go
about protecting them? What trade-offs are involved in allocating
resources to security problems? This book responds to these
questions by stripping down our preconceptions and rebuilding an
understanding of security from the ground up on the basis of a
common-sense ontology and an explicit theory of value. It argues
for a clear distinction between objective and subjective security
threats, a non-anthropocentric understanding of security, and a
particular hierarchy of security referents, looking closely at four
in particular-the ecosphere, the state, culture, and individual
human beings. The analysis will be of interest not only to students
and scholars of International Relations, but also to practitioners.
