The scope of Security and International Affairs research has
expanded tremendously since the end of the Cold War to include
topics beyond the realm of war studies or military statecraft. The
field-once devoted solely to the study of conventional military and
nuclear security issues-has diversified to include foci often
considered nontraditional, including peace and conflict, political,
economic, environmental, and human security. In this exciting new
volume, McGann has undertaken a quantitative and qualitative study
of SIA think tanks, looking at global and regional trends in their
research. He argues that the end of the Cold War marked a
fundamental shift within the field of defense and security studies
among think tanks and academics. Tracking the evolution of security
as understood by researchers and policymakers is vital as the world
follows the path of the Four Mores: more issues, more actors, more
competition, and more conflict. As we move forward into a world of
rapid change and ubiquitous uncertainty, think tanks will only
become more prominent and influential. The volume concludes with an
assessment of the future of Security and International Affairs
studies and raises the possibility of a return to a traditional
security focus driven by recent events in Europe and the Middle
East. This will be an important resource for students and scholars
of security studies, global governance, and think tanks.
