This edited collection explores the fruitfulness of applying an
interpretive approach to the study of global security. The
interpretive approach concentrates on unpacking the meanings and
beliefs of various policy actors, and, crucially, explains those
beliefs by locating them in historical traditions and as responses
to dilemmas. Interpretivists thereby seek to highlight the
contingency, diversity, and contestability of the narratives,
expertise, and beliefs that inform political action. The
interpretive approach is widespread in the study of governance and
public policy, but arguably it has not yet had much impact on
security studies. The book therefore deploys the interpretive
approach to explore contemporary issues in international security,
combining theoretical engagement with good empirical coverage
through a novel set of case studies. Bringing together a fresh mix
of world renowned and up-and-coming scholars from across the fields
of security studies, political theory and international relations,
the chapters explore the beliefs, traditions, and dilemmas that
have informed security practice on the one hand, and the academic
study of security on the other, as well as the connections between
them. All contributors look to situate their work against a broader
historical background and long-standing traditions, allowing them
to take a critical yet historically informed approach to the
material.
