James Sperling's new book is a key reference point for anybody
working on international security and governance. Handbook of
Governance and Security takes stock of a decade of research and
pushes the analysis of security governance into new fields.
Covering regional security governance from the Arctic to South
America, new threats from counter-terrorism to cyberspace, and
governance institutions from the United Nations to the League of
Arab States, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of
security governance in theory and practice.' - Elke Krahmann,
Brunel University, UK'This up-to-date book provides IR scholars
with a compelling and rigorous understanding of security
governance. The contributions draw our attention to the conceptual,
theoretical, and empirical underpinnings of this topic. Leading
experts in the field thereby provide illuminating perspectives
covering most of the world's regions, institutions, and dimensions
of security. This makes it a wonderfully comprehensive treatment of
a crucial paradigm in the study of International Relations that has
not received enough attention so far.' - Stephanie C. Hofmann,
Associate Professor of Political Science, Deputy Director, Centre
on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding, Graduate Institute of
International and Development Studies, Switzerland The Handbook of
Governance and Security examines the conceptual evolution of
security governance and the different manifestations of regional
security governance. In particular, James Sperling brings together
unique contributions from leading scholars to explore the role of
institutions that have emerged as critical suppliers of security
governance, and the ever-widening set of security issues that can
be viewed profitably through a governance lens. The Handbook is
divided into four sections which examine, in turn: the emergence,
evolution, and forms of security governance, as well as the
theoretical orientations that have so far dominated the literature
(networks, multilateralism, regimes, and systems); the varieties
and nature of security governance in eight discrete geostrategic
regions; nine dimensions of governance that have been securitized
in the post-Cold War period; and lastly the role of specific
institutions in their regional context. This comprehensive Handbook
will be of interest to both academics and postgraduates as well as
practitioners and specialists in security, foreign policy, and
governance. Contributors: S. Aris, G. Bahgat, M. Beeson, S.
