Drawing critically on the UN concept of 'human security', this book
offers a transformative understanding of security in responding to
the Mediterranean refugee crisis. From a range of arts, humanities
and social science disciplines, and through case studies
incorporating key governmental, NGO and refugee perspectives, the
book critiques the major geopolitical, economic and social issues
of the crisis. It documents the prioritization of population
management techniques that are underpinned by conventional
territorial logics of security, before reflecting on the
alternative priorities of human security that can facilitate an
active human rights framework and a more holistic and humanitarian
interventionism. In advancing a human security approach to the
crisis, the book insists upon our interconnected global sense of
precarity, interrogates the human consequences of the endless
cycles of conflict and displacement, and challenges the
impoverished thinking of statist security agendas that divide the
world into zones of sanctuary and abandonment. Of broad appeal and
relevance across the social sciences, from geography and migration
studies to international relations and critical security studies,
this book will also be a timely read for people working for NGOs
and policy makers looking for a more holistic response to the
ongoing refugee crisis. Contributors include: T. Bicchieri, A.
