Security has become a defining feature of contemporary public
discourse, permeating the so-called 'war on terror', problems of
everyday crime and disorder, the reconstruction of 'weak' or
'failed' states and the dramatic renaissance of the private
security industry. But what does it mean for individuals to be
secure, and what is the relationship between security and the
practices of the modern state? In this timely and important book,
Ian Loader and Neil Walker outline and defend the view that
security remains a valuable public good. They argue that the state
is indispensable to the task of fostering and sustaining liveable
political communities in the contemporary world and thus pivotal to
the project of civilizing security. This is a major contribution by
two leading scholars in the field and will be of interest to anyone
wishing to deepen their understanding of one the most significant
and pressing issues of our times.
