The essays in this collection boldly confront the quest for
security arising from the social, economic, environmental, and
political crises and transformations of our century. Joseph E.
Stiglitz and Mary Kaldor begin with an expansive, balanced analysis
of the global landscape and the factors contributing to the growth
of insecurity. Whereas earlier studies have touched on how
globalization has increased economic insecurity and how
geopolitical changes may have contributed to military insecurity,
this volume looks for some common threads: in a globalized world
without a global government, with a system of global governance not
up to the task, how do we achieve security without looking inward
and stepping back from globalization? In each of their areas of
expertise, contributors seek answers to questions about how we
achieve protection of those people who are most insecure without
resorting to economic, military, or mafia protectionism. Some have
suggested that the turmoil in the Eurozone "proves" the
deficiencies in the welfare state. This book argues that the
superior performance of Scandinavian countries arises from their
superior systems of social protection, which allow their citizens
to undertake greater risk and more actively participate in
globalization. Some suggest that we can address terrorism or
transnational crimes through the strengthening of borders or
long-distance wars. This book develops the proposition that such
approaches have the opposite effect and that only through spreading
the human security experienced in well-ordered societies can these
dangers be managed. This book also examines how these global
changes play out, not only in the relations among countries and the
management of globalization, but at every level of our society,
especially in our cities. It explores the potential for cities to
ensure personal security, promote political participation, and
protect the environment in the face of increasing urbanization.
