Those working in Defence Studies explore the convergence between
war and politics. It is, in the words of the editor of this new
Routledge collection, 'the socio-technological study of how martial
force is understood, built, and deployed'. Indeed, the term
'Defence Studies' has its origins in the establishment in 1927 of
the UK's Imperial Defence College (later named the Royal College
for Defence Studies in 1970), but research falling under that
rubric has long been a global endeavour. Scholars of Defence
Studies ask questions such as: What are the driving factors of
defence policy? Why is history important for understanding emergent
warfare? How might actors prepare for defence and war? Are defence
policies appropriate for expected events? Now, in response to the
need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly
growing and ever more complex corpus of literature, Routledge
announces a new title in its Critical Concepts in Military,
Strategic, and Security Studies series. Edited by David J.
Galbreath, Professor of International Security at the University of
Bath, and Director of its Centre for War and Technology, Defence
Studies is a four-volume collection which brings together the very
best scholarship in a one-stop anthology of major works. The
collection is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive
introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the
collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It
is destined to be valued by researchers, teachers, and advanced
students as a vital research and pedagogic resource.
