What is real? What can we know? How might we act? This book sets
out to answer these fundamental philosophical questions in a
radical and original theory of security for our times. Arguing that
the concept of security in world politics has long been imprisoned
by conservative thinking, Ken Booth explores security as a precious
instrumental value which gives individuals and groups the
opportunity to pursue the invention of humanity rather than live
determined and diminished lives. Booth suggests that human society
globally is facing a set of converging historical crises. He looks
to critical social theory and radical international theory to
develop a comprehensive framework for understanding the historical
challenges facing global business-as-usual and for planning to
reconstruct a more cosmopolitan future. Theory of World Security is
a challenge both to well-established ways of thinking about
security and alternative approaches within critical security
studies.
