This new Handbook gathers together state-of-the-art theoretical
reflection and empirical research by a group of leading
international scholars in the subdiscipline of Critical Security
Studies.
In today 's globalised setting, the challenge of maintaining
security is no longer limited to the traditional foreign-policy and
military tools of the nation-state, and security and insecurity are
no longer considered as dependent only upon geopolitics and
military strength, but rather are also seen to depend upon social,
economic, environmental, ethical models of analysis and tools of
action. The contributors discuss and evaluate this fundamental
shift in four key areas:
- New security concepts
- New security subjects
- New security objects
- New security practices
Offering a comprehensive theoretical and empirical overview of
this evolving field, this book will be essential reading for all
students of critical security studies, human security,
international/global security, political theory and IR in
general.
