The idea of global security has taken on new meaning in the
post-Cold War world, compelling analysts of international relations
to reassess the military, political, and cultural issues that
intersect with the notion of security. On Security represents a
wide range of views on shifting concepts of security at the turn of
the millennium, when the tangible, bipolar arrangement of the Cold
War-era world system no longer exists. Unlike much work in the
field, the essays in this volume do not take the state for granted
as the referent object of security. Contributors probe deeper,
asking what it really is that we imagine needs securing: the
international system? the nation-state? culture? On Security
inquires further into what constitutes security: protection against
enemies? suppression of a particular ethnic or religious group?
insulation against economic competitors? And finally, contributors
look into how ideas about security enter the realm of public debate
and become institutionalized in organizations and policies: are
they based on tangible, objective threats, or do they arise from
psychological and emotional attitudes about feared enemies? Ranging
in perspective from neorealist to postmodernist to constructivist,
the essays in On Security attempt to find answers and to come to
grips with some of the dilemmas confronting the idea of security
today. The contributors to On Security - Barry Buzan, Beverly
Crawford, James Der Derian, Daniel Deudney, Pearl-Alice Marsh, Ole
Wever, and Ronnie D. Lipschutz - offer a thought-provoking overview
of the ongoing debate about the nature of political reality and
international relations.
